What's wrong with Nextcloud, and why is it slow/clunky?

I hear people say that about Nextcloud often, which is part of why I haven't bothered setting it up yet.

Is there a technical reason why it's slow and clunky? Any problematic choices with how it was built?

Does it auto download then too? I swear I looked all through that app. Couldn't get KeePass or obsidian to sync automatically

I used to do keepass through it. So yes. But I haven't done that in a hot minute. I do still have a master sync folder for some stuff... but I have tried to open any of those items on my phone in a long time.

Last I checked it worked. I haven't needed that in a long time though so that might have changed. But it's not that hard to just grab the file in the nextcloud app too.

I like to update both and keep it all synced. What do you use now? I'm probably going to do syncthing
