If that's the main benefit, let's hear it for MPAs. I want a website that's fast, responsive, clicky, sharp and to the point - not some soft-focus pastel cartoon movie. As the author says, that's fine for audio/video sites (and reasonable for other entertainment-focussed sites) - for information sites it just gets in the way (animated elements - especially persistent ones - are a terrible idea when trying to concentrate on textual content).

For some reason, designers likes it no matter it makes sense or not, so it is what you get. The current designer trending is just a shit show, nuke the usability for nearly no benefits IMO.
