In earlier versions of the past, OneUI was slower than something like Nova Prime (on the same hardware). In earlier versions, you also could not customize icon sets, you could not drop a widget into the dock, widgets were less flexible in how you could resize them, you could not customize the animation styles the same way. Plus tons of other details of customization/layout/scaling combined with speed (or lack thereof). The last 2 versions were huge improvements on these areas, and as a former Nova Launcher Prime power user, I consider OneUI 5.1 to finally be usable if you install and make extensive use of Good Lock. I've been using Samsung devices since the Note 2, btw. We won't even talk about "Samsung Experience" or the even older and kinda terrible TouchWiz. TouchWiz drove a lot of people to other brands of phones and to use other launchers.
