In most projects I know, Cucumber test suite speed is not an issue. Of course, running 350 features takes its time, but still each test for itself is reasonably fast...

The Web Animations API has great browser support, and you should be using it to animate DOM elements from JavaScript, or to control or wait for CSS animations.
...Its API probably a bit different from how your favorite frontend framework animates, but simple enough to get used to. Like for CSS animations, you specify keyframes to animate. This...
