I have been using and evolving with 1Password since it's inception in 2008. The main reason I have been a loyal user is because of its native Max experience. A new version should always be an improvement from the previous. Moving to a least-common-demoninator Electron environment and moving away from the native Mac experience we have had since 2008 is not a step in the right direction. I am very concerned by all the Beta user comments and have no interest whatsoever suffering through what in essence is a 1.0 release on this new platform after having faithfully used 1Password for the last 13 years.
Through my company, I have to suffer through using Slack on a daily basis. I don't get a choice in that since its a company standard. I do get a choice in the applications I use in my daily personal workflow. I would never consider using any app that is based on Electron.
Of course everyone at 1Password understands the commitment most Mac/Apple users have to the platform. Of course, you must realize that reviews such as https://9to5mac.com/2018/07/01/best-password-manager-mac-ios/ will be a thing of the past once 1Password8 is released on Electron. Bradley's comment sums it up best:
"...despite some excellent offerings from competitors, 1Password is an app I always come back to using. Of all the apps I tried, 1Password feel the most native to the Apple ecosystem...."
Because 1Password has been a native Mac app all these years, I have never once been interested in looking or evaluating any competitive product. Once 1Password 8 is running on Electron, I believe that will be the point in time for me to take a serious look at those other "excellent offerings". I'll have nothing to loose at that point.
