alt Hacker NewsI'd rather have an imperfect frame now than a perfect frame later. Latency should be the top priority for any UI, because when latency is low enough it feels like a part of your own body, which minimizes cognitive load. Animation is especially bad for this, because animations add hundreds of milliseconds of latency.

I think that's a false dichotomy. The examples the author gives would not be slower in any way if done correctly.
