That's excellent news for you -  but many people do have issues with Electron apps, for the well-documented high resource consumption (RAM, CPU and battery life), large file sizes (due to each application bundling its own copy of Chromium and Node.js) and poor OS integration. Yes, 1Password is one of the better ones, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be even better as a native app - as it was before v8.

      To parrot an earlier comment, that’s excellent news for you. A sample size of one doesn’t mean nobody else has had issues. It doesn’t even mean you didn’t have issues, you might not have noticed a battery impact.
