I agree, I switched about a year or two ago to subscription and I'm quite happy with it. There are some apps/platforms that I believe /should/ be subscriptions and my password manager is absolutely one of those. 1Password has continually added new/better features year after year and the price is tiny compared to the value I get (and then subsequently provide to people in my 'family'). The UI is the best I've seen in a password manager and while design doesn't necessarily affect the ability for a PW manager to do it's core job, I prefer looking at pretty apps. Almost every time I use 1Password I leave with a smile/good-feeling.
