That's the one I use because I've used the Windows one forever.  The
Linux version is technically still beta but I've been using that for 2+
years and it's fine.  Not 100% feature compatible, but more than close
enough for me.

Based on a Windows release change log from the other day, it sounds like
they are getting ready to change the file format.  I think it's on v3 so
they are getting ready to go to v4.  I've found that a lot of the tools
that claim to be file compatible are only compatible with v2, so watch
out for that.  I can't speak for Password Gorilla there.

I've also looked briefly at using other tools, but translating the
exported file to do something reasonable on import always looks too
painful, and I have a LOT of stuff in mine so I'm not doing it manually.

Later,
JP
