I don't like how everything seems to require extra clicks or has extra animation now. For example, the workout selection has a weird feeling like it's fluid and everything just kind of scrolls along. Then when you stop on something long enough, the rest of the UI elements like the start / play button show up.
Why do I need to watch a mini video to have UI controls appear? It's incredibly annoying.
My Linux install feels so much faster than Windows or OSX and the main reason is that it's not filled with a bunch of useless, slow animation.
The really pathetic thing about this... Linux has had the capability to do this for years. About 20 years ago, I was playing with compiz, and turned on every single effect. Window dragging with transparency, bubbly windows that would snap into place, windows that would resize with an elastic-looking snap, switching entire desktops with cube animations. Animations were smooth and fluid, and didn't even drop a frame. That was 20 years ago, running on really low end Intel integrated graphics. There's no excuse for this laggyness. These are basic animations that GPUs should handle just fine. I mean hell, we were rendering full 3d environments with realistic water effects like 10+ years ago on GPUs that can't even begin to compare with what we have today. Your GPU can't even handle a tiny little animated button today? WTF?
