       If you're not an old like me, you might not know this, but computers used to feel snappy - you clicked on a thing and it was immediately on the screen or moved or the button appeared pressed in on the next screen update. There weren't animations on every single hover, click, open, close, drag, etc.Everything felt basically instant and when it didn't and there was a hang or lag, you knew the computer was doing something hard. It was working on it. It was trying its best.

       When you got a new faster computer those lags and hang times were shorter. You could feel it!But nowadays all the animations and stuff means the time it takes for UI to respond is more or less always the same even when you upgrade. A new computer no longer feels snappier or better - it's more of the same.The animations are slow and the computer is done doing what it needs to do before the animation finishes, so now the animation plays and THEN it does the work.Everything feels slower.
