4 years agoI think some perspective is in order. This has been said elsewhere, but its worthwhile to reiterate:
1) This is the team that built 1Password 7, a world-class, thoughtfully-designed Mac app. If anyone can make an Electron app a good citizen of the Mac, it's these folks. Let's have some faith :).
2) 1Password 8 for Mac is a beta. I'll admit that performance characteristics and UI/UE are pretty rough at the moment, but let's reserve final judgment until the 1.0 ships.
Finally, I'll note that I could care less about the technology 1Password uses under the hood. If the app is efficient, thoughtfully-designed, and acts as a good Mac citizen, the particular framework(s) it uses are irrelevant to me. This being said, I've yet to use an Electron app that meets these criteria, so the team certainly has their work cut out for them...
