It's very much a "death by a thousand cuts" situation - I'm not a fan of the removal of 1Password mini which was my primary interaction with 1Password, especially for the common workflow of password generation/account lookup.

It seems their focus is to drive this into the browser extension but that doesn't cover all of my use cases - I very often need to generate a login password _outside_ the context of a browser and doing so now requires me to open the application and create a new password and save that record while before it was one click away in the menubar.

I'm also annoyed that we're no longer able to define which vaults are included in "all vaults" and the inability to simultaneously disable the browser extension from injecting their UI into websites (the login icons, blue input fields, etc) while keeping the prompt to save a login when a new one is detected.

I'm glad it's working for you. I use v8 every day on my work machine. My complaints aren't about the speed of the application, but rather the reduced features and removal of any menubar app functionality that was present in v7. I'm not a fan of the UI changes, personally; I don't know why everything needs to have _so much_ space, but I could ignore that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Electron, and I'd prefer it have remained a native app, but that alone wouldn't be enough for me to jump ship. And I'm not even claiming alternatives are better than v8; it's simply that v7 was much better, and I'm actively looking for alternatives.
