Caused by repeated frustration, no doubt. I think the main reason everyone saves as a JPEG is simply because of how widely accepted the format is. Also people are lazy and tired all the time from the 2-3 jobs we all have to have now just to pay the bills. In fact, that's the reason I usually use lossless JPEG as an end-all format. Sure, lossless makes it huge, and tons of images would work better as PNGs by that format, efficiency wise. But as long as it still looks nice, clean, readable, and artifact free, I don't care how long it takes to download, and I know everyone will be able to view it, even if they're using Windows 3.1. Or Macintosh 'System 7' (Anyone remember that?) Either way though, I'm with you that people shouldn't just save everything as a 30% quality JPEG, but let's face it, people are dumb. People still think it's magic that I can make animated GIFs. Seriously. Cute comic. Caused by repeated frustration, no doubt.

But def. PNG for comics and the like. It's crisp! Woo, I love PNG. Mostly because Paint can save as PNG (but not JPEG without losing 99% of the quality).
