Nice post @j_hall_wgu. @johnbhartley this might be something to take a look at.

An interesting read; personally I think this also comes down to comfort/competence level of CSS/js, I say that as someone who is much more comfortable writing JavaScript than CSS. I found a couple of nice new JavaScript animations last week (velocity.js and svg morpheous), it's interesting to see people are still developing new animation libraries so (hopefully) JavaScript animations still has a lot of life left in it.

@RobertWaggott I have yet to use it in production, but velocity.js looks like a great solution to jquery animations on slower machines (android, ipad, etc.)
