Electron
This discussion was created from comments split from: 1PW8 for macOS.
Mixed feelings here. I'll gladly take the new Electron+Rust implementation for Windows over the previous .NET one, but that is primarily because the .NET one's performance was terrible and the new one is pretty snappy. I do not care too much about UX on Windows since things are all over the place there anyway, so Electron might be fine.
On macOS it is a whole different story. The great thing about macOS is how integrated and lightweight everything is, and 1Password 7 was a prime example. 1Password 8 however is no longer an integrated part of the platform and leaves a bad taste, not to mention 4%-5% of my RAM is taken up permanently. I would no longer recommend it to friends in its current state.
I'll evaluate 1Password 8 for a few more weeks, but I already see myself rolling back to version 7 :-(. I hope that version 7 remains to be an alternative even if 8 goes public as-is.
Fwiw, I find the marketing where version 8 is primarily presented as Rust-based and therefore "native" somewhat disheartening. It's the UI that matters -- a core can be built in pretty much any language after all.
