One reason I use 1Password is because it’s a native app. Electron apps never have the affordances of the platform, so are frustrating to use whenever you leave the “happy path”. Because it’s so heavily used this would be a reason to leave it.

Separately, Electron is itself a large piece of code and integrating it would increase the attack surface — of a piece of security code! Another good reason to switch if this comes to pass.

At the same time, the most audited code it there. Maybe you don't use a GUI browser.

To be fair: 1password native app on windows was horrible and felt 3 times slower than 8.0(electron) beta.
