Yeah, for whatever reason I was constantly having the following problem in 1Password:

->Whenever I auto-generated a password in the browser extension, and submitted it, 1Password would occasionally (like 1 in 20 times, but often enough to be infuriating) lose the new password into the ether. Like it wouldn't be saved in the "recently-generated passwords" field in 1Password, or update the password field under the "Logins" entry.

So when I got a new laptop, like a month ago, I didn't even install 1Password, but the first time I'd go to any site, I'd manually look up and copy the password out of my backed-up 1Password web page, and then let Safari save the login in the keychain. Over time, I migrated all of my passwords into the Keychain, and now I also have access to them from within Safari on my iPhone and iPad (which having to previously open the 1Password app, unlock it, copy the password from the login, and then switch back to Safari and paste it in), was a pretty big win.

So I'm really happy with iCloud Keychain so far. It restricts my ability to log in to only Apple devices (which for now at least, isn't an issue for me), but I've found it a much better experience than using 1Password.
