Here's my take -- gif's are no longer supported by the GD library because of patent problems. So development of how to deal with them has been moved to png.
</snip> Untrue. GIF images *are* supported by the GD library. They were briefly taken out, but the support was re-enabled in v2.0.28 (almost two years ago). It is being actively developed, and expanded. They've even added support for animated GIF's.
Yea; but it does work very well. For example, you can resize a GIF in PSP and get a reasonable size file with good quality.
