1Password 8 - Non-native feel

@Lars - I am a customer like you. I use the PC, Mac, Browser, & iPhone versions of 1PW and have used it since v3. I am extremely merciless and brutal when it comes to 1PW's development as poor 1P_Ben and others on the support team will attest. It's because I love this software very much that I communicate with such passion. With that said, I've heard the negative comments about Electron and the arguments against it just doesn't seem that compelling to me. The app runs fast.... Very fast.

I get that it helps free up time for new features quicker, but I'd rather have native high quality apps than new features. 1Password already does everything I need from a password manager. Anything else is just a bonus. However, with the new Electron approach I no longer like the Mac application and will stay with version 7. If version 9 is a native application I'm staying with 1Password, otherwise I probably won't. Same goes if there is a security issue discovered in version 7 that won't be patched in favor of version 8. That's how much I dislike the Electron experience.

AgileBits needs to innovate or it dies. The new sharing feature is an example of a feature I think adds to their mission. I think the privacy.com credit card feature is useless because it requires an extra subscription and same with fastmail, especially since Apple is offering a similar service baked into iCloud+.

I'll give it to you that you have one of the better Electron implementations, but there are still issues that can't be solved with electron, like it feeling like a web app, menus not being able to extend past the application window, and the general feel with things such as scrolling behavior. I don't think I have seen any Electron app with elastic scrolling.

I haven't seen any issues with the scrolling. It's wicked fast on my PC. Is this elastic scrolling for Macs?

I have chosen to use Macs for many reasons but with a major one being the premium application experience both from Apple and third parties. The fact that all applications have a similar and familiar look and feel that just fits in, and that developers of small and large applications alike are paying attention to this. I'm sad to see more and more applications moving to Electron and similar solutions, but my way to deal with that is to find alternatives by developers who care about the Mac experience enough to use the native UI options available.

I know it's not ideal but I empathize with their position. Imagine coding for 5 different platforms. Each feature, each fix has to be applied to all these different platforms. I understand their desire for a more efficient workflow.
