1Password was reading too much Internet, they thought they have their backend written in Rust would get all the attention and hit the jackpot.

Turns out the hate against Electron is far greater than the hype on Rust. And to the specific Mac User group, anything not written in Swift and SwiftUI are just junk.

To be fair, this is one of the best electron Apps out there in terms of resource usage. Most likely due to it being purely used as UI and nothing more. The old 1Password uses 50-60MB of memory, the new one uses ~120MB. I would argue the old one wasn't actually that memory efficient in the first place.
