One of the reasons I like HN for is the lack of ANY animation. It just does what you want it to do.
Also: At work I make internal software for managing basically everything. We do not use any animations, besides one for dropdowns. And those are only .1 second long.
So, I kinda tend to think that animations/trying to be clever in interactions are actively harmful.
Speaking of being clever, the new reddit layout seems to try to be a single page application. I hate those quite a bit, due to making it much harder to browse.
