I use their accessibility features to stop all animations I can. Maybe if more people upvote here they will hear us. No point in suffering in silence.

I agree with this entirely:

> no latency from brain to action is the greatest design you can possibly have. We want to feel one with the machine.

But... I used Windows growing up before switching to Linux, and I've been using a Macbook in recent years. Both Windows and Linux can be configured to run with no animation lag, but AFAIK this is just not possible in MacOS. I can't imagine doing anything serious on MacOS with animation log completely interrupting my train of thought or flow state.

I'm no Windows fan, but at least circa 2019, I know Windows 10 could be configured to be similarly snappy and free of laggy animations.

The greatest sin in MacOS is the immense lag when switching desktops ("Spaces"). It's a baffling design decision, I can't believe it's intentional.

The speed of the desktop switching animation also depends on the refresh rate of the monitor, by the way. Baffling.

Same applies to iPhones. Lag (animation) between action and result drives me crazy. Accessibility settings don't help much.

At least Android still allows you to set animation scale, for now.

Except auto-playing videos in browser.

Of course “Apple” isn’t listening here. Leave the upvote begging to reddit.

Apple has proper channels for this, including https://www.apple.com/feedback/macos/.

Given Apple has provided a workaround, don’t expect any changes.

Any competent product leader will look far beyond the bounds of their official support channels for useful feedback.
