> This automatic animation built on top of framer-motion, so that means that you will get all of its features as well (spring animation, shared layout animations, etc...).
But... what makes it different?
It provides an opinioned-default transition for child components. You don't work directly with framer - you use the HOC it provides and your elements animate automatically based in (what I assume) are sensible defaults.
Why is framer infamous? Genuine question - I’ve only used it occasionally
It's not, I assume the parent is using "famous" and "infamous" interchangeably, which is incorrect.
