I agree, I built a small UI for work and used animations (with 200-300ms transition times) Then out of curiosity I disabled them all on a release and the feedback was pretty much the same except I got a few "it's much faster" responses. Fwiw internal business application not consumer but lesson learnt. Personally I very very rarely think animation is an improvement. Except where you are using animation to cover loading times and at the end of the animation the UI is ready perhaps.
