GitHub in essence is still pretty much the same, there's products that have feature creep but I wouldn't say GitHub does that. I can't say that I'm having issues with the performance either. I work with large PRs too (Especially if there's vendored dependencies) but I never ran into a show stopping performance issue that would make it "useless".

Off the top of my head, I can think of Github Projects (the Trello-like feature), Github Marketplace, Github Discussions, the complete revamp of the file-viewer/editor, and all the new AI/LLM-based stuff baked into yet another feature known as Codespaces. > I can't say that I'm having issues with the performance either.

  The same in the sense that it doesn't get in the way during my daily work with it. Yes they've added features but that didn't mean that existing features got removed or things got in the way.
