However, animation give life and emotion to interfaces which, can make for an enjoyable UX. Let's say, for example, I am linking a user to an anchor further down on the page. Quickly scrolling the user (animation) indicates that this information was already available on the page, and I am simply taking them to it. On the other hand, a hard transition (no animation) gives the illusion that the user has been directed to another page, what if they then choose to hit "back"? | |

I enjoy using it and it just feels better than many "better" looking IDEs and editors, but that may be more from a more specifically usability perspective, after all it's for getting work done =) | |
