Design language

I have been a 1Password paid customer since v2. I manually (via keyboard) moved hundreds of my entires form SplashID (cringe) to 1Password before there was an import option. We've been using it across the entire family back when you could only sync via Dropbox (ugh). I've loved it because it was a great 1st class Mac app.

The "design language" of 1Password v8 with Electron is, sigh... sorry guys, garbage. It feels like something a big corporation would do because it met their "corporate objectives" of "cross platform synergies" and "leveraging development assets" and not because they wanted to make the best Mac app possible.

The choice to use Electron on Mac will open the door to a large amount of otherwise loyal users to move to a better more native Mac app when one becomes apparent. It's rather subtle, but visually and ergonomocially the app no longer "feels" pleasant, It "feels" like something to put up with to get the job done. This is not good for you long term.

The addition of the new "Appearance" preferences definitely helps (Compact/90%) to make it less cartoonish, but then they don't apply to the Safari plugin, which still feels like something drawn with a big fat crayon.

The functionality that you're putting into it is great. Although you've taken key functionality away too (like the ability to change the default save-to vault). You should have focused on putting all of the core functionality form v7 into v8 before adding new features.

The visual interface is a big step backwards. I don't like it. And when I look at it I think "Electron" and when I think "Electron" I can't help but cringe. :-(

(sorry that this comes across as so harsh. 1Password is one of my favorite apps. It's sad to see this happen to it)
