I believe that thats your experience. Its not really because the technology is improving though, its because you're growing older.

The latency is absolutely horrendous, and anyone thats used to a decently performing system will not agree with your opinion.

As a simple example: i can easily code 6+h with no break on a good system, with these mainframe system i'm gonna take a break at least every hour because the fatigue builds up so quickly. Its every little interaction, simple input that doesn't appear for 50+ms, switching owrkspaces thats delayed for 150+ms.

Alternatively, they're young enough that they've never experienced good latency and don't know what they're missing. See:
