It's almost always done poorly, and it's really hard for me to get into a fully CG anime because of this. Part of the point of watching anime is for the animation and CG tends to be very poorly animated (the models tend to be too rigid and they often artificially lower the framerate across the board instead of selectively like with hand-drawn).

Like anything, it has limitations and strengths which need to be accounted for. Land of the Lustrous might be the only CG anime that I wasn't just thinking it would've been better with traditional animation.

When used for specific parts of a 2D anime it's hit and miss too, but again that's an error in execution. It does seem like mediocre CG looks worse than mediocre 2D, so that doesn't help either.
