At least at one point, GIF89a (animated GIF) support was universal among browsers, whereas animated PNG support was patchy. Could have changed.
I've also seen "GIF" files served up online that are actually, internally, animated PNG files, so some may actually be animated PNGs. No idea why people do that.
