I use a programme picker that is a poor Netflix clone. Selecting down to the next row is immediate, and selecting right for the next show within a row also immediately jumps.
Vertical and horizontal smooth scrolling (a type of animation) would improve the UI (caveat: unless too slow of course).
1. bounce of badge when message received and badge number increases (no sound). A la Mac.
2. After modality viewing item in list on mobile, when returning to list highlight the item to show what you have just edited (easy to lose place, animated highlight helps show new summary).
3. On closing a drawer, animate the closing so you don't lose view of next item.
I loath animations (and I really loath coding them) but I will use them if I think it improves the UI, if they are fast, and I don't use them for "design" (I'm an engineer not a designer!).
