Nostalgia aside, this isn’t actually better. The animations alone would be enough to drop most users after an hour.

- neilalexander 3y agoI wish UI designers understood this simple rule: only animate/add a transition if I would have been waiting for a different reason anyway. If there's a genuine delay before you can complete showing me something, then sure, animate away. If you can render what I want to see instantly, don't make me suffer through an animation for it.
- accrual 3y agoFunny related observation - 3DMark2000 displays a little transition/animation during setup before it begins copying files. On a modern SSD, the animation takes longer to complete than the actual installation. I'm sure there are plenty of other examples in modern software.
