Android dev tools let you speed up UI animations. Dropping their time to 25% yielded a phone that felt like it had been given a shot of nitro, and I didn't have any trouble using it.

This "easing" crap just makes devices feel slow, and wastes energy and everyone's time.

Stuff that "moves" when you hover over it is stupid anyway - not compatible with touch screens, can't be printed. I've never looked at a site and been anything other than annoyed by stuff that moves/slides/expands.

There's an extra special place in hell for web designers who screw with the page scrolling to make it "better."
