I've not been terribly worried about them running SQLite in the background as long as their sync with the filesystem is seamless, which they've highlighted is the goal.

Unless there's another set of reasons you're worried about it?

Instead of being the one product I've ever found in this niche that actually is intuitive to the way my mind approaches storing information, tasks, etc., now I have to try to fit my brain around whatever structure they build into their database. It's a completely different experience, interacting with something where I have to change to fit it, rather than its already fitting me.

If my brain worked like a database, I'd already be using one of the dozens of products that depended on a database structure. I don't doubt that this will be more mainstream because of the decision, but it will ruin what made the product useful for me.
