Non-techies rarely discuss JPEGs or PNGs, while GIFs are a cultural
phenomenon.
How to pronounce 'GIF'? Anyone can weigh in, and it doesn't require any
technical knowledge.
After 30 years, GIF has come to mean 'a brief moving image on a
computer'. It's a tremendous success! A harmless controversy can be
endearing :) I can't think of a single downside for GIF.
On the other hand, I think the most important property of a name is that
it does not change. Google indexes written words, not pronunciation. A
long tail of articles and discussion of Guix is extremely valuable.
