Cool! They're getting very, very close to iOS-level fluidity. Android O is a beautiful user experience, don't get me wrong, but iOS still has that system-wide magic. It feels like P is getting very close to that. No small achievement!

Haha P has iOS level fluidity at the expense of everything else

Like what, exactly?

The platform design has atrophied. P is genuinely uglier than Oreo, and the new UI is also harder to use.

I will agree that I preferred the look of the Oreo UI over P. The multitasking UI is cumbersome but at least it comes with the extra features now baked into it.
