It is. The design, somehow dictated by Apple constraints, makes it so.

I find it usable as a text editor, git client and ssh client, which is great really. Any lightweight CLI usage should feel great.

I was hoping to run go and python code locally, but even installing deps, not to mention running tests is unreliably slow.

No dynamic code generation for apps on the App Store :(

It’s pretty slow; usually somewhere between 10 and 100 times slower for most language runtimes. On newer devices this is less of a big deal, but only because they are ridiculously fast.

It took 2-3 minutes to generate a SSH key... I would consider that slow. I still use it almost every day though, I was able to get kubectl to work!
