This really is what UI polish of any kind is all about. You feel like you can trust it more, it feels more robust and reliable. Animation and gestures are a part of this, but it’s only the last mile after everything already feels robust.

Before you make it more glitzy you have to make it less glitchy.

Or, more simply: "lipstick on a pig".
