Where there is demand, there will be supply.
But even YouTube just implemented video->gif converter, because nobody can fight the law of supply and demand. (Even if you count the older WebKit versions which will fade with time, that's still only 22-23% of users who are guaranteed to eventually support APNG animation.) So far, my side has quite a bit of hope on the browser end of things with only Gecko and the latest versions of WebKit supporting it out of the box, leaving IE, Chrome, and Opera without APNG. a LOT of applications which handle PNG and animated GIF either require the user to seek out a plugin or simply don't support it. (Though I stop short of secretly transcoding APNG to PNG while letting AniGIF through unmolested. I'm doing my part to keep it from reaching that tipping point where it becomes the de facto winner. That's one of the other reasons I try to recode APNG to PNG wherever I can get away with it. embedded thumbnails) are fine." but I see your point. Multiple representations of the same frame (ie. I always understood their stance to be "Follow JPEG's example.
Without enforcement mechanism, it's just a recommendation. If people genuinely *need* thumbnails, there will be 3rd-party chunks with thumbnails eventually. While there is definitely room for improvement in ANTP, like uploading custom icons from your computer just to name an example, the experience is generally regarded as better than Windows 8.> They can say "thumbnails are forbidden" and sound/text is fine, but it doesn't work that way in the open source world. These are just a few fundamental differences that I think contribute to the popularity of ANTP and the general dislike of Metro UI. Apps and custom shortcuts can have their backgrounds disabled & changed, text hidden, and a completely background that can span the entire width and height of the tile. The developers of individual widgets have complete control over their tiles. ANTP can look like Android if you want it to (the weather widget’s default style is Android-themed). ANTP resizing is done by dragging squares (just like Android). – Metro UI resizing is done through a context menu. ANTP tiles can be as small as 1×1 or as large as 3×3, depending on developer preference. – Metro UI resizing is limited to 2 options. While Metro UI is the stock style inspiration, it is not inspiration for functionality, where ANTP differs greatly.
