The effects and animations remind me of the cool window effects in Gnome/KDE, back when they were first made available, like the window burning down completely when closing. Cute, sometimes very cute, but ultimately distracting and only adds a delay to the intended action, so after a week the novelty wears off and I usually revert back to the old UI. Typically "no-nonsense" UX (the kind used to get stuff done) has minimal animation, if any. The whole point is to focus, not to get distracted by railgun animations. The feature list seems to be mostly eyecandy and emojis.
