Description

Hi, I have some addtional questions from my previous questions:

1. Is druid backend egnostic?
2. As druid is heavily retained, is it suitable for animations? For example if you look at [egui's demo](https://emilk.github.io/egui/#demo)

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29293830/149644845-fdbc4d8f-f2e2-4046-b4bb-ca5ff65752bd.png)

See you have animations and stuff if move the slider etc? Is it possible to do the same with druid? If so would it be costly on CPU to have animations with druid?

3. Does druid lock you into some framework, like [Bevy](https://bevyengine.org/) does with its ecs or [iced GUI library](https://github.com/iced-rs/iced)?
