Yea modern modeling route makes a lot more sense really so who hasn't try it. do it, like yesterday :) As for animation yea slow view port is HUGE stop for animation really. One thing is displaying bunch of meshes and details, (display subdiv, displacements, fur) Another thing is actualy procesing rig and weights that is on CPU and not having much on GPU so two parts of sme problem to deal with.
