> Animations are not just a fancy visual thing, they help the user understand what’s going on. Instead of teleporting the toggle indicator to its new position, let’s move it smoothly
Unfortunately it is, just a fancy thing that too often makes it worse or just focuses on the wrong thing.
Like in this case, what exactly is "going on" that requires this visual delay? It looks worse vs the original instant response, why does the user need to care about intermediate movement of this binary toggle?
Then this is the fanciness that detracts from solving the major flaw of these sliders: you can't easily tell whether it's off or on
