It's possible to make all kinds of app using Electron, both good and bad, and we're using it mostly to package the apps for each platform. Most of the heavy lifting is done in Rust, with Typescript doing some of the front-end rendering.
At the end of the day, Electron is just a tool like any other. It suits our purposes and helps us to more easily keep things consistent across platforms.
If you're interested, there's more from our founder Dave Teare about how we built 1Password for Linux here:

The same principles apply to 1Password for Mac and 1Password for Windows. If you have any questions, please let me know. :)
