Or: wow! Only now?


poor support/awareness of animated PNGs has been keeping GIF well represented for ages


Neither APNG or MNG are supported in 2 of the big 3 browsers. If either format were supported in 2/3 of IE, Chrome/Webkit and Firefox/Gecko, it would get picked up by the other within 2 releases. Unfortunately the webkit/gecko guys are punting to the libpng guys, and nobody has budged.



Which is unsupported in every major browser.


Finally a feature browsers can compete on! :)
