I also love animations... the first time, and for a short while after. They are new and exciting. But they quickly start to grate, then frustrate, and then become downright annoying. Like the article stated, the MacOS spaces transition wastes time. Animation has its place--progress/loading being one. Or situations where processing takes time and/or you might want to abort the action before it commences. But any time an action could and should have an immediate effect, a transition effect actively impedes the user's workflow. These are unnecessary, and should at a minimum be configurable.
