On the pseudo-modals:
The preferences is small enough that I don’t care about that as much. It’s symptom as much as anything else.
The pseudo-modal for collection management is painful.
I never want to open that pseudo-modal _again_ because it’s so awful. It’s narrow, it doesn’t let me look at the vaults while I’m working through what should be in a collection, etc.
This is a problem because it’s a major feature and someone who has used 1Password from the days when it was 1Passwd and you ran the Switcher’s blog…that’s bad news for the success of the feature. Never mind that this is the only way to get to the previous behaviour of "all vaults" meaning "all vaults that have been selected to show in all vaults" and that so that you’re not constantly getting shown things that you don’t want to see by default because the collection you have the old "all useful vaults" is on ⌘5 instead of ⌘1 or (better yet ⌘0).
On the zoom:
Keep the zoom, if you must. But for the love of Jobs, don’t bind it to ⌘-, ⌘0, and ⌘=. ⌘0 should be _either_ "show preferred collection or account" or "show main window" (leaving ⌘1 for "show preferred collection or account"). Seriously, that binding is the absolute #1 thing that I hate about the Slack app, and there are _legions_ of things to hate about that. Leave the zoom options in the View menu, because your mother-in-law, if she wants to zoom in isn’t going to remember ⌘= to zoom in. She’ll look in the menus.
1Password 8 is _much_ better than it was when I started using it in July. But these two things actively make me _angry_ about using it because: (1) the pseudo-modal, especially for collection management, makes me not want to use something that looks much better than previous mechanisms, and (2) the zoom gets in the way. I’m using 1Password on a single monitor (14" MBP, previously 13" MBP) and I want to set my zoom _once_ and never think about it again, especially if I hit ⌘0 (thinking "show main window" or "show preferred collection or account") but it resets my zoom. Having the zoom bound is a papercut that happens to me multiple times a week because it makes no sense in anything except a web browser.
