This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm not sure I agree. Just like Motion Blur, DoF is a real phenomenon, and we notice when it's absent. There are lots of good artistic reasons to use it.

But just like Motion Blur, it's really hard and costly to implement properly. Unless you have close-to-perfect eye tracking, it will be annoying because of what you describe. So until we've got that working well, having no DoF is much better.
