PNG is a superior format to GIF

PNG is a superior format to GIF, and is nigh-universally supported. In many applications, in fact, it is the default format. Competent web developers and savvy graphic artists stopped using GIFs *years* ago. This article may as well be called "buggy whips NOW finally come in taupe" -- in the 21st century, GIF is completely irrelevant.
