Why does Adobe Bridge suck so bad?

I feel like this deserves a topic thread. It might even be useful for Adobe to understand what an opportunity they are missing out on!

Since Bridge was first introduced, on every single system, every OS, every GPU and CPU configuration i have had over the years, - it has always been terrible. Why? 

It should be a replacement for windows explorer/finder. An advance file management system. Instead it is a space grabbing resource chugging nightmare. In the five minutes I have loaded up this forum, typed this message and will hit send - in that same five minutes adobe bridge has generated two thumbnails. If I do this within windows or finder, it takes less than 20 seconds to batch rename all my media.

Please solve this riddle and make this tool worthwhile.
