This comment thread discusses various opinions on UI animations, with a focus on whether every frame of an animation should look good if captured and analyzed statically, in isolation. The debate centers around the necessity and effectiveness of animations in user interfaces, their impact on performance, and the balance between aesthetics, functionality, and user experience. There is disagreement on the role of instant state transitions versus animations, with some advocating for efficiency and others emphasizing visual continuity and coherence.

• Animations are primarily a way to paper over UI that sucks to begin with
• Instant transitions are only good in theory, but not practical for many people and use cases
• Animations should convey meaning, not achieve pixel-perfect morphs between states

• Animations are used for various purposes, not just to make things visually appealing
• The human visual system processes motion differently than static images
• Some animations can be beneficial in conveying meaning or context within the UI
• Instant transitions may work well in certain scenarios
