Echoing many of the other replies here - my experience has been very different (much better).

The web UI is fine and snappy and using Infuse on Apple TV is simply delightful.

The server uses file watchers to update the media library very quickly and is light on resources.

I don't need a recommendation engine because... it's my media library, presumably I added things to it that I want to watch.

And most importantly, it's open source and not likely to get enshittified in the near future like Plex.
