I have it on good authority from the MongoDB Compass product manager that latest versions of Compass load in around 5 seconds :-) Still an Electron app.

God, I hope so.

I've been going back to Robo3T lately. Sure, it has it's own UI/UX issues, but it doesn't feel like I'm fighting the tool all the time on really basic UI/UX stuff. And it loads up in less than a second. Never thought I'd see the day where I'd actual prefer a Java desktop app over something else.
