Jump cuts in UI can be very disorienting however. I think animations are at their best when they're short and help tell the spatial model. Otherwise only used when the UI will take a while anyway such as loading in new content, or as small cue to get the user's attention. Agree that many people use it gratitously for no good reason however.
