It's just a little baffling to see someone describe a level of performance I haven't experienced since 2025, despite frequently using the tech, as being a frequent concern.

Might be the type of projects you are working on and how much you care about performance and code quality.
Working on more complex, logic heavy projects with strong performance needs I find the models to be useful but certainly not 'one shot' on pretty much anything. And often incredibly frustrating and genuinely bad code that collapses performance and bloats systems - like what a really bad junior might write.
When I'm working on large standard crud web projects with already decent architecture and a good harness and skills, honestly they work pretty well a lot of the times, the code looks good, does what it needs and fits in with the architectural style.
I really think a lot of hn people just write simple repetitive software, and a small portion works on complex, weird, dense, and novel'ish logic projects. The two obviously don't have the same experiences.
To a first approximation, since 2025 was at best a year ago, it's not reasonable to be so surprised that the improvements in that time weren't enough for some use case. There's only so much anything can improve in a year.
