Deeply disappointed with the switch to Electron
I've used 1Password almost since the very beginning. The fact that it was a native Mac app was one of the many reasons I've supported it and recommended it to others over the years. As more and more ...
Before you become very sad about the decision, I suggest to try the new app and compare it with the "native" 1Password 7. I think you will immediately see how much better 1Password 8 is compared to the predecessor.
roustem I tried it, and honestly couldn't see anything better about v8. It just doesn't look at home on macOS at all. Doesn't feel like a Mac app, doesn't look like one and doesn't work like one. Many standard macOS UI/UX features are missing, janky or just plain wrong. Memory usage is approaching double on my system. The Safari extension install is unintuitive and doesn't work on Catalina, and is vastly more memory hungry than the previous one. You've also removed or completely changed some well-loved features.
Unless the version you're using internally is vastly different to what's been released publicly, I just can't image how you think this is in any way "better".
You seem to have completely forgotten your Mac roots, what a Mac UX is and why Mac users choose to be Mac users. I'm really sad and angry about this after being a customer for 12 years. The prospect of finding an alternative isn't something I'm looking forward to but I won't continue paying for a poor web-app, no matter how good/fast the back-end. It's the front-end I see and use hundreds of times a day.
