I’m a recent windows 10 convert from Mac and a 1password user for years, I have disagreements with my buddy who is a long time windows user along these lines _all_ the time. He thinks I’m insane for essentially paying for UI I prefer (I would disagree I think there’s some structural differences, but I’m okay with being reduced to that too). It’s like asking why someone buys anything, the products exist and sell and make some people happy while being absolutely insane to others. Such is life.

I'm also happy to pay for better UI alone but that does seem to offend some people. It's usually the same people who if they find out you take vitamins will start telling you what the placebo effect is.

  The reason usually is that there are people with a lot of money to throw around and there are others with less money who instead invest time to research where they can save it on a product. If then they not only find a way to save money on a product but also one with more features (so more for less) than the one people throw money at, they are in disbelieve why somebody would throw that money on the worse alternative. I see this as quite reasonable thinking for somebody who never had too much money. Of course it might be that in this case the much more obvious is the case: throwing your most important data into a cloud on a close source system is kinda..."optimistic".

  Ah sorry I missed it. My poor macbook pro of 8 years finally chimed it's last boot chime, so to speak. I have a windows PC that I had used mostly for games/web, so "convert" might be strong, I just haven't decided if its worth replacing :)
