this is your opinion, most of the animations (apart from the tab animation) 
does not interfere in any way with your work, they are extremly fast and im 
most cases invisible, they are there to provide a more polished look to the 
intire experience avoiding the instant changes.

Oxygen is not drifting it was our goal since day 1 that NOTHING would be 
instant, but rather transitory, the animations are really subtle and most 
people don't even notice them.

plus I'm not sure you even used them as the stuf shown so far in youtube is 3 
times slower than the real ones (you cant notece them over the video thing at 
normal speed)

I know many people did not notice them yet and they are using trunk.    any 
way they are all on by default except the tab one that was only on by default 
to let people find bugs in it.

Side note if you find oxygen animations to strong and distractive dude you are 
in for a surprise with plasma.
