I've only used Azure for a little while, but it just seems way to slow compared to AWS. It takes forever to spin up and shut down a server, or reconfigure something, and the website in general just feels slow. The AWS portal is less pretty, but feels fairly quick.

I don't find the website to be slow - they seem to have updated it ~6 months ago, and it seems to be really responsive since then.

I'm with you on time to create some resources though - starting up a new VM takes anywhere between 5 minutes and (on occasion) an hour. I'm working a bit with Azure Batch these days too, and it generally takes 15-25 minutes to start a small pool, which is really irritating. I wish they'd introduce a containerised version of batch, with jobs starting in seconds.
