This is true, but I also think there's a backlash now and therefore some really nice mostly dev-focused software that is reeaaaaly fast. Just to name a few:

- Helix editor - Ripgrep - Astral python tools (ruff, uv, ty)

That's a tiny subsection of the mostly bloated software that exists. But it makes me happy when I come across something like that!

Also, browsers seems to be really responsive despite being one of the most feature bloated products on earth thanks to expanding web standards. I'm not really counting this though because Firefox and Chrone might rarely lag, the websites I view with them often do, so it's not really a fast experience.
