png over gif

Why do designers prefer png over gif or likewise?

Personally i have found png to look sharper with a smaller file size.

I know png can't be animated but like gif can be transparent.
I know png has built-in gamma correction and error detection code.

Unisys is throwing a fit about using the Gif LZW compression technology, unlike png.

Some older browsers don't support png which i believe to be its major downside.

Your thoughts ..
