Me too.  PNG is the new choice image format for non-photography images. It
fully supports alpha channels and transparency. PDF is actually less
versatile, especially since most browsers will choke on it if one tries to
embed them in a web page. Pretty much every modern browser supports PNG.
I have found it to be much better.   When needed I can always convert for
folks that need to have a .pdf, jpg, etc.
