Png with alpha transparency is really better than transparent gif files.
However, is there any good alternative to animated gif files on the web?
Yes, there is apng which in theory might be able to replace animated gifs,
however in practice animated gifs has more widespread support.
Also, the major reason for developing the .png format was that unisys had
a patent for the compression algorithm used in .gif. I don't think that
patent is valid anymore.
