Man, I really hate seeing comments like this. I feel like I need to reiterate that BitWarden is NOT an open-source company. They are committed to providing open-source compatible products with their products. Two very different things.

If they feel their product is somehow lacking or affected by whatever they are packaging right now, they are completely free to change it. They also have no barriers to entry for users who wish to use another client.

It's really not a big deal.
