that file format is mainly used in professional settings and yes, it is good. but saying that png is bad is nonsense. png has been designed to REPLACE GIF that was the target : do what GIF does, without the Lempel-Ziv patent issue. and drop a few improvements... that's it. comparing something that was designed to replace GIF for Internet use to a professional-level image format designed for specific industrial (as in cinema) work... what the hell ? if you/they want to push for EXR, make a proposal to the browser developers. and in the end, the website developers and public will choose. how big those pictures are, how fast they load, how costly it is on the CPU (we are going in a world where how much power you use IS going to be important, and on fixed machines as much as phones).
