The prioritisation has changed. Opening apps is slower, starting new documents/views within the apps is fast. With enough RAM you just keep all the apps you are using running and switch between them.
I've not started an app so far today, not sure I did yesterday either for that matter. I certainly created plenty of tabs in chrome, and new terminal windows, but those just pop as instantly as far as I can tell.
Oh, and i'm on MacOS
- retrac 3y agoApplications tend to stay open on Mac even with no windows open. As a KDE on Linux user, I tend to open and close apps as I use them. Very few applications take more than a second to load on a modern machine with an SSD, anyway. I find that many desktop GUI programs are slightly misbehaved for whatever reason, and consume some small but real amount of resources when idle in the background. When a dozen are open response time will be poor.
