Newer != Better

I wanted to try the G0 series so I thought I would try out stm32cubeide -> everything takes a loooooong time to complete on my computer.
Moved to MDK5 and it was a breeze -> unfortunately they no longer support windows 7 so I had to manually download the packs -> super slow.
Then I figured out a way to compile them on CoIDE (from like 2017-ish). It was a breeze.
Later I worked on a dsPIC33 project and used mplab 8: not bad to compile a 200KB project but definitely not as lightening fast as on emBlock (1.01). Compiling the same project on the emBlock is almost instanenous.
software is getting more and more bloated - everything is huge and slow. What a shame.
