Funnily enough I was just today checking out Transit[1] for a project I'm working on. Has anyone gone through the process of picking Velocity vs. Transit? What made you pick one or the other?
I used jquery.transit for some of my project. I liked it a lot. As it is very simple to use (it's more like jquery.animate) you can easily animate even without looking at source code. If you need some simple animations like page transitioning, side menu opening I think jquery.transit is ideal. However, if you need some complex transitions like chaining and animating properties in different easings, I suggest you to try Transit.
Edit:I'm not sure if it's fixed now but there was the problem when I was using. When you start animation and then you want to stop it because user clicks another button etc, it doesn't stop properly. It breaks animation without pausing.
I was using Transit, which performed very well. After pulling in HighchartsJS I ran into a strange conflict (tbd) in the transitions (animations), so just switched to Velocity. Works well.
author of Transit here. Velocity actually has a comparison over in its page (top right area) that makes velocity a good choice for animating multiple elements at once.
