Motion can be incredibly useful if it's used appropriately. The vast majority of examples are not used appropriately adding distraction, or worse, they slow down actions. It's all over the place, cute or "helpful" animations or displays that just get in the way of using the damn thing. Home electronics that have "welcome" and "bye" messages delaying the on or off are in the same pointlessly annoying category. To use his first example, if you use an animation for deleting a record, is it going to significantly slow down deleting? What about a number of records you want to delete? Personally I'd stop using an app that decided to animate passwords like that. It's gratuitously distracting. "we could even ditch the text completely, relying on our animations to provide user feedback" Oh ffs no. So we have to guess what the bounce, shake, or dancing emoji is trying to tell us in place of "nothing selected"?
