I read his requirements and thought bitwarden met all of them. The author discusses bitwarden and instead of acknowledging it meets their expectations, points out more issues.

I don't really see why a "family-friendly" version cares about the underlying tech or filesize of the CLI clients, but maybe grandma or kids these days do get upset when when the run a program that is 8.0 × 10^-5 of their 1tb hd.

Yeah, that is a weird criticism. Even if the size of the CLI client were an issue (which I agree it it's not), how many people in their family even know what a CLI is and how to use one? I'd imagine that the average number of people in a family who would prefer a CLI to a GUI is less than one.

Bitwarden is good but I don’t understand why I need to make an account to use it? I wish more software followed 1Password <= v6 and allowed me to store my vault and access it locally anywhere.

It “just worked” on any device that could sync the vault. Now they’re a pay-to-play service without that feature.

To forward your secrets to your family (shared vaults) you need a remote vault that both sides connect to. That's their implementation choice... but given that BW is OSS, you could theoretically change that behavior if you know how.

I have only ever used it with a vaultwarden backend and it's been fantastic

The underlying tech of your password manager where you store all of your secrets is very pertinent. If it is poorly built, your secrets are no longer secrets.
