This is part of a tutorial, the idea was to give some evidence for justifying the use of transitions where possible.

It also might get more people to realise that jQuery isn't the answer to everything, and animation is definitely not one of it's strong points (right now anyway!)

Yes, i see it now, there seems to be some confusion as to the need of the article. It makes more sense in a tutorial perspective and is needed to pull people off of jquery. Thanks for clarification. :)

So why doesn't jQuery help me be smart and do CSS transitions where available? Or would it be to difficult to translate my JavaScript animation instructions to CSS animations?
