.JPGs just got shat on for no reason.

I do not know why four people just stuff on jpg without keeping the thread open to defend it.

JPG is fine. It isn't inherently stuffty quality and it's great for photos. While it's true that most programs will compress JPGs, any program that's worth using for image editing will let you choose the compression level for JPGs.

They really aren't that bad, LEAVE JPGs ALONE!

They have their own merits, but .pngs are more useable day-to-day.

There is actually an animated PNG format that is being developed, I hope for it to be widely implemented.

I don't think about file types outside of a computer anyway, a camera could take pictures as bitmaps and I wouldn't notice/care

Am I one of those people. Sirrus?
