I purchased a 1Password license years ago. I knew when I bought it that major version upgrades were not included and my feeling was that I would rather have a subscription so I could just seamlessly upgrade when new versions arrived.

Ever since they released the subscription option my upgrades have been very smooth and the features and improvements keep coming and I don't have to actively go and upgrade/purchase a license for a new version.

I don't know how to feel about switching to electron. I have many applications that are electron based and the quality is generally high but some do cause significant memory pressure on my macbook air.
