it’s decidedly not quick and subtle. ios animations are blocking, so anytime i try to do things faster than the animation can finish, i very much notice it (particularly acutely when typing in my passcode). i hate that i have a “supercomputer” in my pocket and yet i can outpace it on a keyboard because of poor programming/user experience.
with that said, i agree that non-blocking and subtle animations do help us better intuit the user interface if done thoughtfully.
