Sure computers are faster today, but I think the point is that with all of this available horsepower that we have gotten quite lazy about having performant software. These GUI apps really only feel slightly faster than they did 20 years ago, but you'd think given the orders of magnitude more computing performance, the time it takes to do things like open applications, files, save, etc, would also progress at such a pace. Clearly there are inefficiencies when it takes over 10 seconds to open microsoft word on a blazingly powerful M1 cpu. using the cli on an m1, sure, everything follows as expected with lightning quick tooling at that level, but its in the gui software, the software most people use day to day, that the inefficiencies are exposed.
