Kind of, to varying degrees. Posting the ones I've actually used enough to have an opinion:
EDIT: While I absolutely hated using Vista, I think it's unfair to complain about its performance compared to that of Win XP. XP was 6-7 years old at the time of Vista release - of course it's going to demand less of your PC.
Win 10: 'the final version of Windows' actually kinda decent
Win 11: "when we said f'inal version of Windows' we meant it's the final version that your old ass computer would run. Go buy a new one."
Win10 was extreme crap, you just feel it was good because Win11 is worse.
Windows 8.1 was amazingly good, simple and fast, if you ignored whole Metro thing. You could also install 3rd party start menu alternative, if you needed it.
I disagree. If your software runs like a damn snail on inexpensive current-gen hardware, then it's not worth using.
This lines up with my own takes on Windows versions. I think 8 was better than people give it credit for. I never minded the UI personally, and it was fast and responsive.
