When should I use GSAP instead of CSS for animations?

GSAP is great for complex animations and performance, while CSS is simpler for basic transitions. It depends on your needs!

Can you give me an example of a complex animation that GSAP handles better?

Sure! GSAP excels at timeline animations, like chaining multiple animations together with precise control over timing.

What about performance? Is GSAP really faster than CSS?

Yes, GSAP is optimized for performance, especially with many elements or complex animations, making it smoother than CSS.

Are there any scenarios where CSS would be preferable?

Absolutely! For simple hover effects or transitions, CSS is often easier and requires less code than GSAP.
