Citation of a UI study showing that preference? And was it with inexperienced or experienced users?

There are many other people in this HN discussion expressing a preference for fast interfaces over animated interfaces.




Literally nobody thought your next response would be anything but “CITE???!?”. You and your kind are entirely predictable: Disguise a minority opinion as an objective truth then shift the burden to anyone who calls you out.

Nobody in this thread besides you has expressed a desire for a 0ms scroll. Nobody.


False.

JoshMnem: "The proper way to use animation is to NOT use it except when there is absolutely no other way to communicate something." (scrolling is communicated by the fact that you pressed the page-down button)

yorwba: "The first time, the effect would be made very obvious; but with continued use, it becomes so fast that it's instant."

iforgotpassword: "I usually try to disable animation entirely"

th0m4s: "On my last phone I turned the animations off complete"

kqr: "I turn off animations entirely on my phones, and when watching others use their phones I'm always baffled by how slow they feel."

devgutt: "You can also don't use animation at all. I really don't like animations even when used correctly."


Ah yes, that well-known and beloved feature of the iPhone: the page scroll button. This is pretty sad and weird of you dude.


Only half those comments were about phones, so even if those posters would make an exception to their stated animation preference in the case of page-down, "literally nobody" is false. If wanting low-latency scrolling is "sad and weird", why does Mozilla expose this option in Firefox's main Preferences page? They have no compunctions moving genuinely rare preferences to about:config or removing them altogether.
