-----------------------------------------

I'm +1 on removing it, personally. I suspect [~maxime.beauchemin@apache.org] will have the strongest preference.

> Alright, some people might disagree, looking forward to the discussion here. Basically my qualm is that opening almost any page (even the DAGs list) will trigger an animation where the content kinda swoops in from the left/the top/the top-left corner. This gets pretty annoying for a few reasons:
> - It takes around half a second before the content is visually parsable, and these half seconds accumulate pretty quick when doing lots of administration.
> - This makes visual diffing when refreshing or editing the URL impossible. If the animations weren't firing, it would be possible to refresh for instance the tree view of a complicated DAG and just see the treemap change, making the differences obvious. Currently you need to commit the state to memory and then recall it after the animation has finished to try and figure out what has changed.
> - I think it just makes no sense from a design point of view anyway to have all this data sliding around the screen. It's not like it passes off as a transition animation or anything.
> What does everyone else think?
