I have not written much JavaScript in my life, but from a user perspective I absolutely hate all the fancy animations and slow transitions. They are super annoying and tiring for me. Just give me the damn website as fast as possible.

And to achieve these cool animations websites have to load a shitton of javascript which makes them even slower.

Some may even be just CSS. I'm still waiting for a way to toggle the CSS ones off for all websites, without breaking them.

These often even look sluggish, but maybe it is a relative thing and some see the prompt movement of UI elements as unpleasant and call the animations "smooth". Or maybe it really takes a very powerful GPU on the right hardware to fully experience animations without feeling annoyed? Or both?
