What's Good
The declarative API matches React mental models. Layout animations work automatically. Gestures are built-in. Exit animations actually work. The spring physics feel right.
The Catch
Bundle size is not negligible. Complex animations require understanding the system. Performance needs attention on mobile.
Verdict
The animation library that makes movement feel right.
