Especially since the "core" is written in a different language anyway, which can be common across platforms. I've never really done actual GUI development, but the 1Password GUI is fairly limited in what you can do. It's basically a list you can filter and a bunch of text fields. Yeah, it shows an animated countdown on the OTP field, which consumes a ton of CPU. Can't say I see a lot of value in that. [0] My point is that to someone whose job it is code, it shouldn't take to long to do a similar thing in QT / GTK. But I guess they'd still need more people than doing just Electron. --- [0] When the first versions came out on Linux, there was actually an FAQ entry about unusually high CPU usage. The solution given was to switch to a login without OTP or to close the main window.
