Personally, I've used 1Password, Bitwarden, and LastPass. I switched from LastPass to Bitwarden a few years ago (use it on android and browsers for the most part), and use 1Password for work. Overall I'd say 1Password has the worst UX of all of them, though it looks "clean". It routinely messes with my settings on update, it's password generator is annoying to work with, and it doesn't pick up new logins I've entered well (eg. if I tell 1password to create a login from this page, it populates nothing while bitwarden sets the name and URL + any username or pwd it thinks it sees).

I could go into more depth but overall Bitwarden has been a great daily driver for the past few years and would recommend to anyone.

I feel like there's something wrong with your setup, then. I've literally never had to use the option in 1Password to create a new login for a page. It prompts me 100% of the time to save the login info when I login to a site and, sometimes, even prompts me to create a login when I go to create an account before I've ever logged in for the first time.
Keep in mind when discussing 1password's UX: all of the apps seem to be different between the platforms. My MacOS experience was much different than it is now on Windows.

The MacOS app is wonderful, but I find the Windows app incredibly annoying to use.
