Web Animation with GSAP: A Superior Alternative to CSS and JavaScript

The code quality of GSAP is pretty terrible too. The codebase is prehistoric in terms of best practices, it doesn’t tree-shake well, their package exports are mis-configured, their type definitions are bad or missing, their api’s are wildly bloated making it easy to get lost or write inefficient code, licenses are convoluted, and the performance isn’t great compared to just using CSS, SMIL, or the Web Animation API.

I’ve built some cool stuff with it, but GSAP is hardly superior. Just use the platform, or use a modern alternative to GSAP like https://motion.dev

Another goofy, non-standard license[1] that hasn't been vetted by anybody, and isn't well understood. Weird terms like "You can only use this in no-charge software, but if you only charge the user once you can use it." and "If you use this in subscription / usage fee software, please buy a commercial license." So is that a request, or a strict condition? Thanks, but no thanks.

Please just use CSS, yes it has limitations but it also won't break or lag when not in ideal circumstances, and will work on cheap android phones in developing countries.
