4 years agoI also see Electron apps as a UX disaster. All the important points have already been mentioned. Also true is the insane resource consumption.
VScode is IMHO the only usable Electron app. So I grudgingly accept the insane RAM requirements. But a coding editor is a special case that usually uses relatively few features of the operating system regarding the editor anyway. But when you come back to the elements around the editor, the pain starts again.
I've been using 1Password with a family licence for about 1/2 year now and one important reason for switching to 1Password was that the apps are native. I was willing to pay more for that. I can get a crappy Electron app elsewhere for less money.
I hope you come to your senses and keep the v7 in the race. I still have almost 1/2 a year before the next payment is due. It would be nice if by then at the latest there was a commitment to the continued existence of the v7 or a native v8. Otherwise I will definitely have to look for an alternative. Sorry.
I could have stayed with Windows for SUCH a thing. I switched to OSX after 2 years of Windows BECAUSE I want maximum consistency in the OS and apps. After over 10 years of RISC OS, I was so spoiled that Windows seemed like a traffic accident. :)
