I tried 8 on Windows. I went back to 7 after a week.

* Search is just plain broken. This was the number one reason i scrapped it. * Managing multiple vaults (i have over a dozen) is unusable. * The UI is terrible, it takes way more space to show less information than 7. * The browser integration (FF) seemed to work poorly.

Basically, once 1Password stops supporting 7, they will have lost me and anyone I can influence as a customer.

While I fully agree with your issues, and have experienced them too, (although comparing v8 on Linux to v7 on Mac – I don't use 1Password on Windows), those are just UI/integration issues. I don't think they're because of electron, but rather because the remake of the UI is poor.

FWIW, my main gripe is having to unlock each vault separately, as opposed to a single unlock as used to be the case on Mac / iPhone.

Electron makes integration harder.

Why? You don't have to use Electron for everything, you can integrate using whatever language you want and some RPC, like Keybase did.

Fair enough, but I expect browser integration and so forth to be done via the backend, which is rust, so native.
