These are some excellent points, thank you for sharing rather than just giving a blanket “they bad” statement.

I believe Pass has integrated SimpleMail now, you can create aliases which forward to your email without setting up reverse aliases.

You can also add credit cards to Pass now, this was actually one of the things keeping me on Bitwarden for ages.

Can’t say that their communication has improved though, all I can find on contact sync is that “Soon you’ll be able to sync the contacts in your proton mail app to the default contact app on your mobile device” so if poor communication is your biggest problem then I can’t fault you for avoiding them.
