Have you bought a new laptop recently? Because I just switched from 7 years old decent laptop to a new decent in December. And I have completely different feelings than you: I didn't know my software stack can be even faster than it was but it is!

System load was 10 seconds and is 10 seconds again (Linux here) but for example starting phpstorm is like 2-3 times faster.

I had a few GB big project which was scanned for 30 minutes when loaded first time in phpstorm. Now it takes max 10 minutes.

Yes within the last year... Lenovo with 32 GB Ram, core I7, 1GB SSD, decent GPU... I'm just amazed that the UX hasn't improved after all these years.
Forgot to say am running Windows because of client software requirements.
