Users commenting in the LastPass blog are blasting LP for the decision. I ditched LogMeIn when they got rid of the free tier but never really had any other issues.
Thoughts?

That's so typical for successful startups.
Now every developer in lastpass team without options hates owners. Expect twits from owners on their new real estate and how they hang out in Ibiza with celebrities and life suddenly sucks for them because they feel lonely, lol.
Don't give sh!t personally, I use keepass.
Regular end-user folks rarely get a win out of corporate acquisitions IMO.
