    They should have let it die because nearly everything else is nowadays somehow better:

      Maybe I’m just a newb, but it still looks like PNG is the goto to ensure lossless image storage.

      Everything else on that list that is “better” does/can do lossy compression. I’m not sure how to force apps to use lossless compression, so to me, all those lossy-capable formats are a drawback.

      I absolutely hate WebP. Worst format ever.
