Every couple of days I try 1PW8 on my test installation and within minutes I'm switching back to my production system with 1PW7. Way to many workflows are broken, hidden behind dropdown menus or are much more complicated. These issues are not related to the electron switch. They are related to a UI/UX designer who for whatever reason thought it's time to replace well known UI patterns with something different.
Just have a look at the item counts.

You have to scroll the whole list down to get the item count - sometimes scrolling thousands of items.
Other examples of missing or barely usable functionality:
* Search: it took ten months to get basic functionality like sub string search back. But the awful UI with its dropdown window and extra short cut to get all results is still not removed. I rely on search and I would like to get all results without some kind of relevance filtering nonsense in between.
* Moving fields was omitted because they thought non one needs it.
* Password generator is no longer available in mini/quick access. You have to use the browser plugin.
* Many previously directly available actions are now hidden in dropdown menus.
* Change of shortcuts that were available for years.
* US date format still used in some places.
