Um, speak for yourself. I personally don't like having the docs showcase completely different UIs to the one I'm using. I also like having an app i can run on Linux, which has been happening a lot more since Electron became a thing (no sane company wants to write apps in GTK, and much as Qt is a great toolkit it requires expertise most SaaS vendors don't have).
You're speaking as if it's fait accompli that 1password made a mistake picking electron. It is not, and I am fairly certain they did not.
- Tepix 5y agoWhat percentage of users will be using the app across multiple operating systems and notice and prefer having a consistent interface?
- scrollaway 5y agoI feel like you didn't read my comment if that's your take away.
- tylerhou 5y agoAnecdote, but, my workstation is Linux, my work laptop is macOS, my personal computer is Windows where I run Linux VMs. I run 1Password across all these operating systems. Having a consistent interface is nice and it means I don't have to relearn the UI three times.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoI think many people here will have a similar setup but that isn't representative of the general population or probably even 1Password's client base.
- yreg 5y agoThere's an argument to be made the other way around: Maybe if you choose to use multiple platforms you should just deal with the multiple approaches to UI? Why should the single platform citizens suffer from a UI that's inconsistent with the rest of the platform? To stretch it to an absurd case: Imagine Slack decided that the shortcut to copy text will be Ctrl+C on all platforms. And Windows users who occasionaly use a mac would rejoice because it would save them from having to think which button to press.
