I think Bodymovin and similar tools - while being awesome at making quick animations - still lacks in quality of the code they output. For simple animations I prefer to simply draw some shapes in Illustrator/Sketch, export as SVG, clean up the code, and then animate using CSS.

  For simple animations I tend to agree - once we looked into more intricate animations for fine-grained control on timing and motion that's where the CSS approach seemed too difficult. Hopefully the output code quality of the JS tools keeps improving to address the code size/quality issues.
