While working on #1619 I noticed that some "cursor animation plugins" are placed in the "movement section" (i.e. smear-cursor, SmoothCursor.nvim, specs.nvim...) while others are in "Utility" (i.e. mini.nvim#animate).
While the first 3 plugins are purely dedicated to "cursor movement", the latter is dedicated to animating many other actions.
I'm wondering if it would be more correct to have a section dedicated to "animation plugins" and unite those plugins in there, while keeping the "Movement" section just for "plugins assisting movement".

I agree with this. Based on the description of the problem, Animation seems appropriate here. I prefer to drop "plugins" and just have it be "Animation" because that is how the rest of the sections are worded, e.g. Search instead of Search Plugins

Yeah Animation seems good, better than Utility if there is a common pattern of plugins. Provided it is a key identifier and not a side feature. Like a plugin that does something but also provides animations.
