Comment on Instant responsiveness in user interfaces is annoying

Comments

I agree with your points, especially #2, but I wouldn’t call that “instant responsiveness”. Reading the submission title, I was expecting advocacy for favoring UI animations over an instantly responsive UI.

It’s good for a UI to be immediately responsive to user actions, as long as the response matches the user’s intent. So it’s not the responsiveness that is the problem, but the response not matching the user’s expectations.
