The biggest concern is the animations from APNG are normally so huge.
RIOT does get them down in size some but not enough to make a big difference.I still would love to see it integrated into Gimp by default though.Every version i install it's one of the first plug-ins to go in.

I'm using APNG Anime Maker to assemble animations,
it has optimization option and different compression level control.
That makes file size considerably less than APNGs made in GIMP.
The first one is only 706 KB - given the quality, it's not too bad for 24-frame anime.
Yet animated WebP would be around 100 KB with the same quality.
Animated WebP support should be by default in gimp as well.

Thanks for the APNG Anime Maker info.I have downloaded it. :bigthup

WebP is one of the default extensions in Gimp-2.8. I do not know if it supports animation save in Gimp though.
Isn't WebP pretty new?

Yup, WebP is relatively new, developed as open source format by google
(I think it was a project born at one of the Google Summer of Code meetings a few years back)
WebP plugin for GIMP does not support animated WebP yet
