I also enjoy gifs. I have been creating gifs with VirtualDub so far. I usually prefer writing scripts to do stuff but VirtualDub is one of the few tools I simply use because I enjoy the open source and hacker spirit behind it. An interesting plugin I miss for VD is an color reduction algorithm which would help to create very small gifs. On reddit and tumblr gifs are a growing trend and it might be worth to put some effort into gif creation.
