Enshittification strikes again. For a normal user, the software seems to be getting worse and more cumbersome, and the company seems to continue focusing solely on pushing business- and enterprise-centric features that I have no use for. They'd do well to offer a non-pro type subscription for users who don't want all of that. Instead, though, I and a lot of others will simply be canceling.

I've only been using it for a couple years, but I find it has gotten better not worse for me.

It used to be really, really good on Mac, simply phenomenal, even when it was "syncing" via a dropbox folder.

Now it's more clunky, gets in fights with Apple's (admittedly much better passwords/keychain) via overlapping dialogs, and generally feels much worse.

This is going to be the impetus to move me off.

I’ve been using it for 18 years. It’s significantly worse than it used to be in terms of basic reliability. I was already debating a move, but didn’t really want to. This price hike, in the context of all the investors they took on, just seals the deal.

people are going to complain it wasn't subscription and that it was native.

Honestly, it's a really nice app. Most people don't care about that. My family finds it easy to use and the features are good.

Could I selfhost? Yes.

Would my family find that annoying?, Yes.

Could I use bitwarden? Yes.

My family would be annoyed at me migrating to another alternative if my argument is that I don't want to pay $1/month/year ($12/year).
