EDITOR'S TAKE

The industry standard for advanced web animation since forever. Framework-agnostic — works with React, Vue, vanilla JS, anywhere. Strongest tool for complex timelines, scroll-driven animation, and SVG morphing. Free core, paid plugins for the fanciest stuff.

Use this if

You are building marketing sites with award-show-worthy animation, complex scroll narratives, or SVG art.

Skip if

You are doing standard React UI animation — Motion is more idiomatic.
