I dont know if this is the right category, but what are the benefits of CFrame animating? theres a dev that used to have 1.5k active player that uses it, and its been 3 or 4 years and none of the animations were stolen and they look smooth. is it being secure the only benefit or are there more?
Take Phantom Forces, which uses CFraming for VM animations. The only benefit I know is that they load instantly. However, they are harder to animate.

Another benefit is that if a tool, for example, uses CFrame animating, anybody can ‘play’ the animation, as the ‘animation’ doesn’t require to be owned by somebody to be played. A disadvantage of CFrame animating is that the animation is hard to manually edit, and if you only provide server sided CFrame animations for the tool (via Stepped or Heartbeat), in which case, they will look very laggy / jittery. But if RenderStepped is used, they will look very smooth.
