I love the idea of Pass, but from what I've seen of the UX (not talking looks) it doesn't really compare to the ease of use of products like 1Password (which I suspect was the catalyst for this being reposted). Does anyone have any contrary experiences when shared across iOS, Linux, and macOS devices + browsers?

I really like pass, but I switched to Bitwarden for this reason. Bitwarden has first party support everywhere I need it. Pass has clients everywhere, but other than the CLI I have not been impressed.

it couldnt be easier to keep up to date across devices: pass git push pass git pull there are also at least two browser addons both of which work very well for filling fields

  um, yes, it could be easier. It could sync across devices automatically...

QtPass was descent last time I tried it but I'm not sure if it has been updated recently. Not really much need to have a separate GUI though when there are browser extensions like Browserpass.

I don't use Windows, but I very easily use pass across multiple Linux, Mac, and Android devices. Sometimes I forget to git push something, but that's pretty rarely an issue for me. Set up requires a bit more work than 1Password, etc. but I still think it's pretty easy to set up. On my computer, I actually like the UI more than anything else because I use ZSH completion for pass and FZF for history search and thus copying any password is just like 5 keystrokes on average.

My almost 70 years old dad uses Pass for iOS in his everyday life. He does not have a clue about what's going on under the hood (gpg, git, my instance of gitea where it pushes to, me being able to intervene or fix stuff from somewhere else than his phone, etc.), but thats fine for both of us. He even complained, when I suggested to try Nextcloud Passwords because he might understand better what's going on there. So I guess in terms of UX this is a positive example.
