Exactly this! Asana, if you're listening, please drop everything else and completely focus on fixing your performance. I dread clicking on Asana links in emails because I know that Asana is going to take 10 seconds to load the task referred to in the email.

Those of you who like Asana's feature set and list format, is there a much faster alternative?

Asana is listening and we've been focusing a lot on performance - it's a known problem. Hopping into Asana from external links is painful and we know it (I mean, we ourselves are extremely heavy users of Asana, so we see these things too) and are working on it. Many performance changes have already landed, and more are just around the corner, so keep an eye out for things like this to keep getting better in the near future.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I like the feature-set and list-format that Asana has. If the performance issues go away, I don't think there will be any reason for me to consider switching our team to anything else. Looking forward to the improvements you mentioned.
