The performance/UX thing always got me too, and I remember creating Flash content on a 500mhz P3 on XP which ran smoother than some sites these days on a mid-2014 quad-core rMBP. It still feels like we should have made more progress in terms of things /feeling/ faster over the past 10+ years than we have.
Somewhat OT, but if you've ever watched medical office secretaries, airline desk people, bank tellers, or some hotel clerks work, you'd never think of switching them to a newer computer and web-apps; their proprietary terminal stuff works nearly instantly for most things they need to do. It's sad that the best web experiences today can still be an order of magnitude slower than that.
