> graphical frontends seem to hang, spin the fans, return little to no information about what is happening, and be terrible in general? That's a beautiful description of modern GUI development right there. - What about a 150ms delay on-click for a smooth transition here? - And that spinner looks too good to rush through, so make it pace evenly in case it finished too fast! - Did you see that? There's a subtle but intuitive shade and color change depending on the result. So natural you hardly notice. - Neat! ° To be honest, while I may not appreciate this kind of design in every place all the time, I do wish I was skilled enough to make any beautiful GUI and web experiences at all. Intricate design can be such a timesink doing even basic stuff if it's not one's strong area. Kudos to all the UI, UX people.
