The number of major companies doing half-assed javascript bullshit instead of proper native macOS apps is ridiculous. This did remind me to go cancel 1Password though, something I'd been meaning to do since they switched _to_ electron...

It's actually shocking to see 1pass use electron. They had great first party support but that explains why the app has been absolute garage post v7.

I'm switching away from 1Password as soon as v7 stops working. I use v8 on my work machine and it's a serious downgrade and AgileBits' handling of criticism around it has been just as bad.

Ditto. Happily using 7, but if they ever break it I’m switching to Apple Passwords.

I did that last year and haven’t looked back. And I can share passwords with my family without paying an arm and a leg.

Pity. I used 1P for many, many years and recommended it to everyone I knew. I feel like it’s completely lost the plot, though.

An entire browser runtime for a password manager are you kidding me. It’s upside down world.

Meh. VSCode is a fantastic piece of software, one I never had a problem with before Tahoe.

Compared to what?

I find it telling that the original creators of electron are now writing a new editor with native code because even they can’t stand electron. It’s like they are trying to write a wrong they did to the world.

compared to... nothing... I love it. It's subjective. I love what it does and it's my favorite piece of software because it does what i need it to do, every time, all the time.

Xcode, Visual Studio (the original I mean), PyCharm et al., Eclipse, vim, emacs, Notepad++, Sublime… hmm that’s all the IDEs and text editors I can remember using significantly in a professional context. I prefer VSCode to those.

That's what happens when people use private APIs... there's no problem until there is.

Wise, applies to every piece of software on earth.

Still not half of vim or a quarter of emacs.

Love my 1985 Chevy and my 2025 (insert not very hated auto make here). Each has its uses

It is, true, but Zed is getting better and better every day!

Both MS and Apple have screwed up. WinUI3 is simply terrible and SwiftUI is a horrible headache. Is there any wonder that people are mass migrating to web frameworks ?

It’s not surprising, but the reason it isn’t surprising is abject lack of respect for users rather than framework complexity.
