Looks very nice! Having said that: I severely hate content in this form, where you have to scroll like your life depends on it just to read a paragraph or two.

Didn't even see we could scroll until I read this. Clicked on examples instead.

This is the first time I haven’t hated scroll hijacking. That was actually really smooth.

I think they just measure the scrolling and drive the animations with it. Maybe that's what you mean by hijacking.

Quite impressive, and the showcase of breaking changes on the git repo gives the impression this release comes with a much nicer API than the previous one.

Ooh, this reminds me a lot of MooTools' optional FX package back in the early aughts. I've still got it in a couple places because it's been difficult to replace.

Probably a dumb question but.. Is the 3d exploding diagram model of the engine here just a visual metaphor for a complex system working in sync with itself? Or actually created using the toolkit? I flipped through the API and everything appears to be lower-level animation support, but intro gives the impression that it's CAD-like.

It could just be me running a CPU that's too old or an unconventional browser (Microsoft Edge), but the website is extremely laggy (less than 1 update per second) and the tab immediately starts using 80% of my CPU with fans blaring. Got an 8th gen Intel i7 if it matters.

There's nothing unconventional about Microsoft Edge. It's pretty much Chrome.

The one thing I'm missing is the brag page. Knowing GSAP I'd really like to see why it would be better. It doesn't have to be a fair comparison. Greensock can then say why they'd still be better. But as we do have options it would be nice to see where they match and where they differ.
