I once made the mistake to buy some sound effects from Fab, I had to download the entire Unreal Engine and start it to create a project to then import the assets..

It took the whole afternoon

It's no wonder UE5 games have the reputation of being poorly optimized, you need an insane machine only just to run the editor..

State of the art graphics pipeline, but webdev level of bloat when it comes to software.. I'd even argue electron is a smoother experience tan Unreal Engine Editor

Insanity

It took that long because it had to compile shaders for the first time. After that it would open in seconds.
