Storyline: Animate or GSAP in JavaScript animations
Here is my take. Yes the API does expose the animate which works and the AI Assistant does use animate more than GSAP so it might be good but what keeps me using GSAP is the ease of use. With the animate code you have to have a start animation and end animation to get it to work, even then sometimes I see a slight jump on the object before it starts to animate. With GSAP, the code is more simplified and it does not require starting properties and ending properties when animating so to me it makes more sense and that is what keeps me using GSAP. Adding other properties like rotation, timing, delay and other things also is less code and works flawlessly so again I keep using GSAP because of easy of use.
That said though, if someone is more familiar with the vanilla JS animate than it might be easier for them to use that so honestly I say use whatever you find easiest. I will keep using GSAP 😜.
