They've been around for 10 already. They will be around longer too, given that they're profitable, which they've continued to be. They also aren't under any legal pressure because they've complied with government requests, just with limited data because that's all the data they store. Their client software, which is where the encryption happens, is all audited and open sourced. Any reason to distrust them would really be baseless right now. At the very least, they are definitely better than Google when it comes to trust...
