Sure, styles optimized for specific scales can make those scales more
information-rich and efficient, which ultimately helps the user. But I was
referring to the user experience while zooming and panning. If we were
considering making the left or right sidebar animate in smoothly, I would raise
the same argument (though it would be much less of a priority).
Getting stuck on a fractional zoom level is certainly irritating for those of
us who design map styles. Currently, the user can only return the dashboard map
to an integral zoom level using the keyboard: maplibre/maplibre-gl-js#6872. The
map on the homepage is synchronized with the URL, so it would be possible to
manually edit the URL to remove the fraction. Not an intuitive workaround
either way!
Regardless, the migration to MapLibre (#6234) is motivated by other
considerations. Smooth zooming would be at best a nice-to-have but not
something we desperately need in conjunction with the raster layers.
