Categories in dropdown
Categories in dropdown seems to me a bad idea. It renders categories useless. Arguably they always have been because they are too static, and this is only a first step getting rid of them?

Collections is more about creating groups of vaults that you can use for a given purpose (or excluding vaults you that you want to ensure don't get involved).
I've not looked at Collections before. Do people really have so many vaults that they need to group them into collections?
I've been using 1Password since at least 2008, and I've only recently split off my home business related items from my personal items into separate vaults (not even sure why - it worked fine with everything in one vault), and then I've got a shared vault with my other family members. Certainly not enough vaults to make collections out of!
Am I using 1Password incorrectly? Or are collections aimed at large business with thousands of users spread across different locations and departments? I could see that might need some management, but categories and tags suit my organisational needs.
Maybe that's why so many individual (not business) users would like to have Categories back in the sidebar. Unless you've got dozens of vaults and collections, the sidebar *doesn't * get overloaded as roustem claimed. And Collections adds yet another level of clutter/organisation.
