Firstly, it has a neat and simple GUI which is easy to use. It supports nested folders which helps ogranising entries in a tree like multi level folder structure. Moreover, it supports a variety of types of credentials like email, database and FTP. It also has a satisfactory search capability and the user is able to specify a location for storing the password file. Additionally, it has a panel tray icon for quick access to credentials and a nice interface for generating random passwords.

However, I could not integrate Revelation with Firefox, there is Go To button that opens the URL in Firefox and then you can copy and paste the password.
