They said that 97% of their users are already on subscriptions. I get that local vault users are disappointed, but there's an app for you and it's called Bitwarden.

I think 1Password made a smart business decision. By cutting loose the need to support local vaults, they can focus more development energy on other things that 97% of their users will appreciate. It's a numbers game.

That said...Electron? Ugh. I already spend half my day grumbling about the Slack app.

This is a slap in the face to all of their long time customers. To me it looks like a risky decision more than a smart one. Note that new customers just go the subscription path because that is the only option advertised.

It is quite obvious from the response here that 97% of their users who are actually paying attention to these issues are not on the bandwagon. They should rephrase it as "we could fool 97% of our customers into switching after years of misdirection and misinformation".
