I have a personal distaste for the multi-syllable word in the headline. I acknowledge that may be a 'me' thing, though I do have reasons which are off-topic.

But seeing it prominently displayed on the homepage of this site is offputting, regardless of my feelings about the word in general.

We've replaced it with the subtitle now.

That's how I feel about "performant". Unfortunately I'll never stop seeing such jargon every day or two, working in tech. It is what it is, I guess. :\

What’s the problem with performant?

[amatecha]

It means "of or pertaining to performance". Like "the performant qualities of this software are currently being evaluated", or the one example of its original meaning I could find from Cambridge Dictionary, "What follows is a series of re-mappings of both the performant and the referent functions that emphasizes the collective performance." The word itself doesn't indicate efficient/good performance, nor poor/slow/etc. ... It just refers to the quality or property of performance. For some reason, very recently it started being used to mean "performs well" or "performs optimally" and has transformed into jargon.

You have to ask ?

I’m asking, yes

Either they are annoyed that everything claims to be fast, or they prefer slow bloated software.

Yeah, "Konami" has been a consistent bad time.
