I consider it as high distraction. Yeah, sure it looks great in demos and talks, but do we really want to have two seconds animation every time one switchs tab? Or would you like to have this kind of design in tool you use everyday, editor or IDE?

IIRC, in the design guidelines longer animations should be limited to context switches, where anything under two seconds is "acceptable speed" and anything under half a second is "fast".
There's no need to use the most extreme animations for minor actions in the interface, and the linked page is obviously a showcase, not a real application.
Showcase is no excuse. This was intented to extend bootstrap. The author clearly envisions people reusing these animations.

The author has stated right below that some animations can be improved. Make your suggestions.
The author is on HN and commenting in this thread. So I did make my suggestions: Make the animations shorter, more subtle.
Hello, thanks. I see lot of people would prefer what you're asking, and actually the Material Design specs are not followed very well by me regarding the animations. If you'd be so kind to open an issue on the GitHub page I'll be happy to assign a priority to it and work on it when I find some time.
