Real life has everything "animated". Nothing happens in an instant, there is force required to accelerate mass, etc.

Short, well-done animations make for better UIs.

You're not operating the GUI by thought alone, so your muscles already provide the animation. Adding additional animation on top of that is unnatural.

This might be true, but the operating systems with animations you can't disable aren't short and they aren't well done.

> Short, well-done

This is the neglected key point. None of the examples were short or well-done.
