It seems there is a mixed feeling of for and against dancing icons. A solution would be to provide an options\customise\general checkbox for using animations or not This would satisfy both groups.

These days accessibilty for people who have disabilities, including eyesight problems (and I have had some of these myself) is most important and some minor inconvenience of non-impaired users should be accepted.

In my case they didn't dance at all. When I put the mouse on them, they physically 'jumped' about 3/8" away and I had to move the mouse over to them to be able to click on them. It was a wasted couple of seconds. When you are entering 50 or 60 documents every day and sourcing and making notes, etc, it was a creating an extra step to access the icon.
