This is a good (and fair) question. Sequence doesn't appear to do a ton of stuff the box, without applying a theme from the site or one of your own design.

That is, however, why I love this idea. It looks like this provides a good foundation for creating a slider; a nice interface, well documented options and callbacks, and nothing more.

I feel like I can actually build something of my own with this instead of clobbering an existing slider plugin with my own code until it does what I want. This is a much sharper tool than a widget pre-bundled with style defaults.

Well said. And, I agree. I didn't even think of enhancing an existing basic JS slider with additional animations using CSS3.

I'm still not sure if I'll switch from SlidesJS to Sequence, just because I am quite familiar with the SlidesJS source. But, definitely good work by ianlunn--I'm going to attempt a similar effect with SlidesJS sometime soon.
