No, you most certainly are not. I cannot express how happy I was when I saw that the software my bank uses is built on top of ncurses. Animations don't make your work any more productive, I'd argue it reduces your productivity in the form of a distraction. All the flashiness and the UI/UX bullcrap is what made the unholy mess that is the web today. As a Gnome user, I've disabled every single animation and effect I've seen and I could't be happier.
