I have often used animated GIFs in combination with JavaScript to make really cool animating design elements of pages.
These elements were nice looking and were often confused for being Flash. But of course, they weren't Flash. To me, that's extremely cool, because besides loading faster and being more accessable, it allowed me to use sophisticated animation without using flash for a whole page/site.
I HATE it when a whole page/site is in flash so they can add some (often-cheesy) visual effect.
Animated PNGs would makes things much easier all around for design.
It will also enable 256-bit transparent floating DHTML ads on top of content pages, which probably wouldn't suck any more than the corrent ones, but will still suck none-the-less.
