From the fine article: "Remember when Photoshop opened in 1s on SSD?" I do remember. And it now takes A LOT longer on insanely fast CPUs and SSDs. And I hate it every time I have to wait for it.

So it’s not Electron that’s slow, but modern software?

  Electron is an example of modern software that’s slow. And it’s common and exceptionally slow. I think most software is designed to load once and never be quit; you’re probably just supposed to leave photosnot running in the background and let it swap to disk if needed. But I have a hard time running like that, I quit programs when I’m done using them.

    Photoshop isn't Electron and yet it is slow. So is it Electron that sucks, or inefficient software sucks?

      Why not both? Inefficiency sucks, and electron enables that on a large scale. I have to assume that photoshop could start faster, but trade offs would be made.

  I have a liquid cooled 14 core processor that runs at 5.7GHz. 96Gb of DDR5. Top of the line Samsung m.2 drive. Photoshop still takes a good 30 seconds+ to open.
