FWIW, at work the 1PW cloud/subscription thing is a _very_ good thing, and easily worth what we pay for it.
I just don't want to have my personal password db on other people's computers, and their ever more forceful pushing to get me off the standalone apps synced between my devices over wifi has _finally_ got me looking around for alternatives. I'm _totally_ happy to pay for an alternative - I _do_ value software (especially this type of software), and Id love to be sure whatever I use has a reasonable change of being around (and being successful) in the timeframe of at east 5-10 years.
Bit I totally get that AgileBits are heading in the direction where my work is their target customer, and I am not. That's fine. I'm pretty sure I'd be making exactly that same decision if I ran/advised AgileBits.
