Your opinion .... Nothing wrong to me with those animations.
Previous versions of iOS were good but definitely old styled. Now it's much better to look at it.

Now what are you speaking about ? So long ??? Two click and a tap and you are in the new app, like before
They did a good job and I love most of iOS 7 but I am mystified why they chose to make it slower than it could be. The speed doesn't bother me hugely but it just seems strange that it could be faster and they thought "No we'll deliberately slow it down with an animation."
It's actually more ergonomic now. The area you swipe and tap is in a more natural place for your thumb instead of having to reach down to the bottom with your left thumb or switch hands if your phone is in your right hand.
I like the new unlock (fade in unecessary though)
The zoom-in/zoom-out vertigo inducing, inceptionesque ill inspired effect when opening/closing apps is only a (bad) designer dream become reality at our expenses. (it's slow, it's nauseating, I know I said it before but I did not buy a device to experience that kind of useless nuisance.)
And I enjoy them but I can see where reduced motion eliminating them would be good. But them some people would say I wNt them, but faster or maybe a different animation so I guess apple needs to give us a five setting toggle for simple animations.

Yeah but I hope they make it snappier, I really do.
The point being made here is that it's slower than iOS 6; this is a clear example of form over function.
Just because you're slow at using your phone, doesn't mean everyone else is.
Animation is one way to cover long loading time so that your phone or devices will look more smooth. This design is invented so that you won't feel slowness
Not App are slower. Some older devices will run iOS 7 slower. I do feel iPhone 4S runs slower on iOS 7 and Safari reload much more frequently
IMO it's no real issue. How often do you switch apps anyway? There's more to do on a smartphone
Yes. There is more to do on a smartphone, so people switch app more frequently for different things. Unless Apple implementing true multi windows multitasking, people have to switch between apps

You contradicted yourself in your own post...
I thought this thread was pretty stupid... But I just happened to be on my moms iphone 5 today that is still on ios 6 and I couldn't believe how fast it felt. I decided to play around with them side by side... Her 5 beat my 5s on boot up by 3 or 4 seconds. And with all apps closed from multitask, opening apps was about a second faster on her 5 on ios 6 than my 5s on ios 7. I certainly don't think it's the end of the world or anything, but it can't be a good thing when an older less powerful device running older software is faster than the latest and greatest. Remember Windows Vista?
Come on, how often do you switch apps then? Every 10 seconds or what? Any less frequent and the switcher delay becomes a non-issue. But hey, that's just my opinion. And please, do me the favor and don't twist my words so they suit you. Of course, you *could* understand me like you did, but obviously I didn't mean it that way. By more to do on a smartphone I meant precisely something other than switching. I, too, use many apps on my phone, but it's not like I keep switching around without ever actually using an application, but maybe that's just me then. But as I said twice already, it's my opinion.
If you don't like your opinion being criticized then I'd suggest not giving it in the future.
I am in complete agreement with those here who want to see this fixed. At this point I am fairly close to restoring iOS6 as I find the functionality unacceptable. To create these "bugs" you need to use the interface rather quickly but I immediately found these issues interfering with my experience, for example here are a few things you can try to re-create these issues:
1.) From unlocked state, push on/off button on top, then immediately push the home button to turn display on locked, it won't recognize this action. You'll have to click home 2x or 3x. If you delay between then it works. This is clunky and unacceptable.
2.) Open an app and immediately begin interacting with it, your tap or gesture will not be recognized. Instead, you'll have to repeat the tap or gesture a second later.
3.) Unlock phone and immediately click on a app, it won't open. You'll have to tap on it a couple of times.
4.) I have also found iOS7 requires tapping of app icons closer to the top section of the app, if you tap towards the button of the app icon or text nothing happens. It seems the tap area was reduced.
The people who will have issues are those that perform gestures and taps without looking at them. We learn the location and action to perform a task in the blind because the brain doesn't need to see it, we learn where it is and what to do.
Why are we so upset? Because Apple gave us functionality in prior iOS releases they took away, that's why. Now the interface feels buggy because of the taps and gestures they make us repeat.
There is some wonderful new features in this release like post-processing of HDR (no more waiting) and I truly hope they fix this, soon. ...but I am not confident they will.
