Why not just code CSS transitions directly in CSS3? Are they are benefits to using jquery.transit?

For example does it fix quirks and issues with CSS3 such as the infamous webkit performance issues with translate 3d

Here are examples that'd be difficult to do with plain CSS:

The examples are very impressive. Specially hull.io. Still I am a bit skeptical. A lot of what is done with the two examples can be done by just timing the adding of css3 classes to different objects.

My curiosity is when is CSS3 the designers job versus the developers job? I know with the advent of "Front end" developers the lines are very blurred.

Its a very impressive plugin. I personally plan on using it for Rapid prototyping and then convert to CSS3 classes at later date.

Thanks for chiming in.
