Since the early access versions of 1PW8 I'v tried to adapt to all the changes. Luckily I've installed it only on my macOS Beta test installation.
For my search based workflow 1PW8 is barely usable. The completely obsolete dropdown window with its insane relevance filtering and an extra shortcut just to get the actual results make me think that 1PW8's UI designer has never ever used any of the previous versions. On top of that many buttons and functions that were easily available before are now hidden behind dropdowns or menus. Even basic functionality like drag and drop support is now extremely limited.
The technology behind might be great but the whole UI still feels out of place on macOS. One of the problems seems to be related to the idea that AgileBits would like to have a pixel perfect copy of the same UI on all platforms. The first 1PW8 versions didn't even respect basic UI principles like window stop lights on macOS windows have to be top left instead they used a windows like X top right. It was finally corrected but in contrast to a native UI those fixes are much more difficult to implement in a cross platform toolkit like Electron as you have to reimplement things that native UI toolkits have readily available.
It is completely incomprehensible that even after one year of development hardly anything has changed. Even rather simple things like setting a default vault, enable/disable auto submit or wrong locales in dates took more than a year to fix.
