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?

It has been slowly improving. It used to be a lot worse but I have a lot less issues with it now than I did before all the changes. Its not the fastest best way to do anything, there are better calendar, file sync, email etc etc applications out there in every category that run better but its also quite an easy way to make a lot of things happen.

I run the official docker with mariadb and it was never an issue for me

Nextcloud is fine. Use the All-in-One master container, it's faster than any other way I've installed it. I've tried every method from bare metal to docker to NextcloudPi and it's the fastest and easiest to maintain.

I keep trying it every couple of years to see if it works better, but nah. Even with MySQL/PG + Redis, it's still slow and clunky. Maybe in 2026

I assume it's just not built to be fast, because it's still slow even with MySQL, Redis, high PHP memory limits, a fast CPU and NVMe storage, and so on.

Last time I tested it I had a load time of 1-2 seconds just to bring up the files interface, it feels laggy no matter what. And syncing a folder with ~50k files and 40GB or so in size takes a very long time compared to Syncthing or just syncing over SMB.

Maybe use Postges? I'm using it with MariaDB and Redis and its pretty fast.
