I had a friend telling me "check out my new computer it's so snappy!" once and the darn thing was so slow it made my hands shake from the stress. Can't believe anyone on the internet telling they don't have any lag.

Every time we get snappier hardware, we just add more software bloat. I pretty much run two kinds of GUI apps (on Linux with a lightweight, tiling window manager): web browsers and terminals. My terminal apps are always very snappy, the web browsers not so much. I'm of the opinion that the computer should wait for me, not the other way around. Doesn't seem to work out that way with "modern UIs".
