Thank you, @newman314!
While we think that subscription makes it easier to use 1Password and not have to purchase apps and upgrades for every platform, there are many users that prefer to use licenses. We are going to support both for upcoming 1Password 7 on Mac and Windows.
The same is true for 1Password service vs host-it-yourself model. I have 30+ vaults shared with my team and family and it is much easier to use the service but I can still keep the data locally and set up sharing manually if needed.
There are some features that are simply not possible without the servers doing the heavy lifting: shared vaults and permissions, travel mode, Chromebooks, etc. I just hope that technically savvy HN crowd understands that and doesn't see it as an attempt to push everyone to have a subscription.
