I think this kind of thing just bothers some people and not others.

I first started to understand and notice update rates and responsiveness as a gamer playing 1st person shooters.

I hate (ok, I find it a bit jarring) the jerky scrolling of a phone in battery save mode limited to 60(?) FPS. It’s so obviously not connected to your touch anymore.

In terminals it’s things like the responsiveness fuzzy finders and scrolling that I really notice.

I turn off animations everywhere I can.

It’s not impossible to use something slower, but when everything feels instant it’s just much more pleasant, smoother, and feels more productive as a result of the computer working at whatever speed my brain does.
