GitHub web used to be great.

Then some charlatan thought to embrace the React hype and it became terrible to say the least.

As a hater of React, I don’t think React itself is to blame.

Old GitHub was very light on features, whereas the new UIs are way more curated on the surface.

Unfortunately all of this brings in tons of complexity. It doesn't help that there are a lot of junior developers working on it, clearly.

What new features has the new UI brought to justify this complexity and slowness?

I haven't been able to load it yet to actually check out these hip new features, it just crashes my browser, but I'm sure they must be great?

The GitHub website is slow on Safari
