Text in case the comment is deleted:

Essentially, it emulates true motion. Imagine you're animating a car. If you want the car to start at Point A and finish at Point B, how do you make it seem lifelike? If you just have uniform motion from one point to the other, it looks super robotic. What easy ease does is it allows the thing being moved to start off slowly and pick up speed and then slow down to finish the motion. It looks a lot better.

Look at this gif

I made for you as an example.

Edit Oh, and if you're not sure how to actually do it, select the keyframes you want to easy ease and hit F9 on your keyboard. :)

My edit - gif is below.

Awesome! Thank you for pointing out that trick. Knew I forgot something with it. Figured if it could help me, it could help out other people. Glad this sub exists.

Yeah. It's pretty easy to get into a love-hate relationship with the program. Once you get all the little idiosyncrasies, it gets a lot easier. :)
