If you start using Linear you won't need a benchmark to notice the difference. This is what happens when the "clueless" start "innovating". I've had several conversations over the years with members of Atlassian technical teams. They always wanted to work on performance, but never allowed (priorities). They are in "good" company (Oracle, China, etc.). What's preventing anonymous performance benchmarks, though?

what do they work on? how many other features can you bolt onto an already mediocre wiki? or is it just bugfixes, keeping up with browser quirks, and useless UI "redesigns"/reskins?

  As awful as confluence is, it's not really a mediocre wiki. It's the best I've used. (Out of confluence, notion, mediawiki and some god awful internal thing based on wordpress). It's interface sucks, the performance sucks, the editor sucks, search sucks, and it's still the best.

      I don't think so. If it's mediocre, then it's mediocre compared to something else, but in reality it's best-in-class. It just turns out that the opposition isn't exactly bringing it's a game.

Linear works great on chrome for me, but trying to use it on Firefox, it's hopelessly broken. Clicking 80% of things does nothing.

For what it's worth, it's a pretty significant company priority now. I recently had my project (dark mode) cancelled[1] so we could dedicate engineering effort to performance.
