I am driving away from nextcloud more and more. I would be back when they get rid of php and really develop even one plugin (the so called "apps") which isn't just an alpha version.

I don't see any use case for this bloated all in one monster with crap performance. Someone needs his files in a browser and overall synced. Use syncthing and something like filebrowser or filestash. Photos? Immich. Documents? Paperless. Music, Movies, e-books? Jellyfin. Collaborative Docs? Onlyoffice, cryptpad. Notes? Joplin, trillium. etc.

Bloat and bad performance aside, you don't see a benefit in having a all-in-one solution that in a way acts as a drop in replacement for people wanting to switch away from the likes of Google/Apple? I certainly do.

Yes, having a dedicated app selected for each use case will likely give better results. But it also means more management. And many users don't actually need more than basic functionality.

But yes looking at the complaints, they should look at polishing existing features first.
