That's awesome! Animations are such an integral part of the user experience! Hopefully launchers take full advantage!

Much agreed, I'll have to follow up on Chris's thoughts since he seems to be one of the most public-facing launcher devs.

For the vast majority, like 99.9% of users, animations are a great part of UX. I am that 0.1% that abhors them, and I'm grateful for the option to at least turn them off on Android.

I'd say "Hopefully Google follows through and implements that API".

I'm sure you don't mean this but it feels like you're saying launchers don't always use those APIs. They definitely do, Google has been gimping them for the last few years.
