You can turn on "Reduce Motion" to change it from a slide to a fast cross-fade.

I ultimately stopped because the trade off is not being able to see web animations (or most any animations in the OS) most of the time, which isn’t ideal as a web developer.

Looks like there's a Chrome command line flag to override it: `--force-prefers-no-reduced-motion`

That is just an illusion. Time is the same. Instead, you need to add abstraction on top of CMD + Left/Right keybinds to get fast movement between spaces, for example.

Yep, tiling window managers usually cause a lot of glitches and you spend more time on fighting with glitches than gaining time using the app. That's why I built FlashSpace with no tiling and annoying taking control over your computer :).

And the terminal flag is not going to happen. Apple doesn't care ;).
What I want more than anything is just a terminal flag to turn off the dumb animations on the built-in Spaces.
