10000% All the bouncing, wiggling, roll down and roll up animations simply force us to wait and then when when the animation is complete, require our eyes to grab the scene again and our brain a few valuable milliseconds to process the entire changed region. Every animation is some sort of distraction. It the animation takes up a very small portion of the screen, that distraction may offer more useful information (like a disclosure triangle quickly rotating). But if you're on a large screen (Apple sells Thunderbolt displays last time I checked and Xcode sorta requires them), large portions of the screen moving, wiggling, sliding are uncomfortable and disturbing. Just give us the preference to turn off ALL animations in the UI. For the love of god. Whomever thought it was a good idea to have all the contents of the warnings and files in the project actually animate a roll down animation and roll up animation needs to be flogged. And whomever thought that VH-1 style "pop-up video" growing animated thought bubbles help me enter information into the popup or read the contents of the popup faster needs to have their head examined. At least give us the ever loving option to make the time of the animations 0.00000000001 ms., so we don't have to see them if we find them useless. Xcode is supposed to be a developer tool, not animated fluff from the 1980s Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-Up_Video FYI, the above implemented as UI elements needs to die in a fire. Someone pass this on to Ive's VP of UX.
