I switched to bitwarden from 1password when frustration with mac laptop hardware drove me to a thinkpad running fedora workstation as a daily driver and 1password's new stuff wouldn't run well in wine.
I run a self-hosted bitwarden server, which I love.
But the client is, in my opinion, not nearly as good as 1password. Its login detection is often disruptively wrong. The need to unlock the keychain each time you start a client is aggravating. The fact that the keychain doesn't lock itself when I lock the worstation is more aggravating. It's sensitive to server downtime when it should be able to work offline. The desktop app is either electron or something very similar and chews battery for me if I accidentally leave it running. 1password's secure notes are far richer. 1password's storage for software licenses is useful and bitwarden offers nothing similar that I've been able to find.
I'm not saying any of this to shit on bitwarden. I like it, and pay for it both in dollars to bitwarden and in time spent keeping the server running/patched. (Which I know is optional, but I really like having it self-hosted).
If 1password could offer me a decent linux desktop experience and a self hosted server, I'd switch back. I liked it that much better.
