Absolutely, without question. Do you think that humans, who evolved in a physical word where basically everything happens in an incremental way don't extract valuable information from in-flight state?

Also, as an example just try to use a window manager that just switches instantly to a new desktop, vs a very short animation. I find the former easily disorienting, and it is even more so when you have a more direct gesture controlling the action (e.g. touch or mousepad). Of course there is too much of everything, and too much animation sucks, no question. So is too much fat, but that doesn't make normal amounts any bad.

People are different, I guess. I remove those animations whenever I can. A desktop manager that switches virtual displays in a single frame is exactly what I want.

This is what I meant.
