Yes, it's been built towards motion graphics. Just as Photoshop has been geared towards web design over the years.

It was originally a post processing tool. Hence the name. After Effects.

Which is why this whole thing seems so similar to me.

I see what ya mean! Its always felt like some weird mix of illustrator and photoshop to me. Strange to how PHOTOshop moved the graphic way and the lightroom became the defacto photo editor. Guess that's just software evolution for ya :)
