Strava is just so horrible to use with all its gamification and social aspects. For me running is a solitary pursuit with significant mental side-benefits, but Strava is trying to tell me about someone I don't know running a particular stretch faster or slower than me, trying to egg me on to go faster or further or out-run someone locally etc. Do not like. RunKeeper is just a simple tracker with none of the bullshit, so I prefer it.
I totally see your point (many competitive runner never posts to Strava, anyway). I'm working on a Garmin integration now, so that should be available soon. It looks like runkeeper only has manual activity exports, so I'd have to provide a way to allow for manual activity uploads, too, which is doable!

Can you use it without Strava? E.g. runkeeper?
