Windows is so horrifically slow now. Somehow they added input lag to notepad and Explorer. Microsoft got rid of all the competent people years ago so now every new feature or product is electron based and bolted on. No one there is capable of refactoring core apps like office.
It would have been better if they'd done nothing. I've switched to mac and linux.

Additionally, they managed to refactor Outlook to Electron/webapp, which allows them to share the codebase between Windows/macOS/web, and deliver unified experience ... which might be a downgrade for Windows/macOS users.
