I haven't found iCloud to be entirely reliable. The total lack of feedback in sync progress and errors when something goes wrong drive me crazy. More importantly, Apple charges a lot for storage and it can't be shared so each account needs it's own storage - and enough of it to store all pictures/videos or it won't sync at all. Basically it comes down to I don't want to pay Apple four times for storage (2 phones and 2 iCloud accounts) just so that I can have my pictures fully backed up and synced.

They charge me $0.99/month per 50GB of extra storage. I just buy one fewer candy bars per month.

Are you talking iCloud generally or Photo Library? Sync progress for photos and videos is displayed at the bottom of your camera roll. As for storage they've reduced prices several times and it's very affordable now (I agree it started off terribly priced).
