If one doesn't want to rely on anecdata, here [1] is a benchmark. Based on my experience and this benchmark, I don't how such a negative opinion can be supported.

Clearly Edge isn't a terrible engine. Why wouldn't Microsoft just open source it instead of switching to Chromium?

I’m not sure, but I’m forced to use edge at work. There are a litany of details that annoy me about the browser—speed not being one.

Likely some suit just presented a convincing PowerPoint on how MS could save some dosh.
