Suit yourself. For me it's just a practical issue,
not an emotional one. You're free to use PNG.

I'm fond of BMPs because
I can have them display as icons and they show
in my Explorer Bar. I don't happen to have that for
TIFs. So I use TIFs when I care about size, like when
I have an image that might be very big as a BMP and
I want to store is without loss of quality. For smaller
images BMPs are nice because I can see them in
Explorer folders without using thumbnail view, which
I dislike.
