IMO the article includes an important reason as to why their push to their company controlled cloud is horrible.

I'm a user of 1password. Honestly I've been less and less happy with the product for a while now, I think since they moved to version 6. AgileBits seems to been moving away from the open structure they had and pushes more for vendor locking. Which is bad is any case, but especially with your passwords.
The question is not just whether or not you trust them right now, but do you trust them in a year from now? What about 5 years from now? If so, you're on board with the vendor locking and do not have to worry about it so much.
Personally I will move away from 1password because the trust they gained from their start, has slowly degraded for a while now.
