I agree that 1Password on Windows has issues, but I feel like the developers got screwed by Microsoft on this one: they went all in on a UWP version, then had to throw all that out and basically start from square one when it became clear that UWP was a dead end. So I cut them some slack on that score. 1Password for Windows is improving, it's just taking a while (version 7 is a big step up, for example)

UWP is such a dead end that all new Windows 10 APIs are UWP only.
Last time I checked, about half of the windows market is running Windows 7 which doesn't support UWP. So UWP is a dead end for anyone who needs broad compatibility.
Windows 7 is a dead end. UWP is the future, however shitty it currently may be.
Windows 7 is having beers with XP at retirement home.
How exactly is UWP a dead end? Genuinely asking.
