I use a similar technique (although I didn't make a script for it). I fail to see how it is "less good" [sic]. My password for every website is unique (15+ characters, mix of character cases, special characters, etc), it is not stored anywhere other than my brian, and the pattern is not easily discernable. Furthermore I have two different patterns, one for high value sites and a different one for social networks/forums/other low value sites. With keeppass, someone with a keylogger on your machine can compromise all your passwords in one fell swoop.
