GIFs are simpler, more widely supported, animated, and in many common cases result in smaller filesizes. But I believe the real reason they're still around is people don't want to fix what isn't broken. There are a lot of cases where PNGs are superior, mostly because of the extra color depth. But that's not enough for a speedy transition.
