How does that encrypted text file put you less at risk than a password manager?
A password manager might have extra features such as browser plugins that provide a larger attack surface, but they can be switched off entirely. So, if you use more functionality than the encrypted text file, you might have more risk, fair enough, but when you use the same functionality, the risk seems comparable (or even: a password manager seems to offer somewhat more functionality for comparable risk).

But they probably can see the servers/sites the passwords are for and maybe the hash. I will not even speak about all the break-ins that seem to be occurring on CLoud Systems.
