I find them quite annoying. I'm pretty sure the only people enjoying these kind of animations are the designers themselves. Most people don't go to a website to have an "experience". They just want to find some information as fast and easily as possible.

> Most people don't go to a website to have an "experience". Well, with the things that people do routinely, they rarely do it for the experience. But that does not mean they do not experience it. That experience should certainly be prioritized while keeping the goal of the users as a top priority.

  That experience is prioritized by keeping the goal of the user as the top priority. The only thing I want is some info and to get out. Very few people go to a business website to enjoy the animations. Edit: No one goes -> very few people go, shout-out to DylanDmitri and Stripe. I like Stripe's page a lot better than this one though, for reasons I mention in my response to DylanDmitri.

To be fair, I go look at Stripe's homepage every couple months just because it's pretty.

  It also doesn't animate text though. The content is all in place, with pretty animations and such in the background. Not my preferred look, which is admittedly pretty spartan, but it works. Edit: It does animate the code being typed. But that seems less critical to me then the main body. I would still prefer it to be static personally, but it works.

  I believe stripe's designers include @destroytoday, his design of paper 53 impressed me a lot several years ago [1]. Surely it also contains animations, but it's more elegant and smoother.

I dont think designers like moving text either, I think they are told to make it happen, and they do.
