Why not?  ASCII art has the highest hardware/software support for
universal compatability. :)

Besides, they usually use less disk space...

I thought of a neat idea for ASCII art. Now if only someone will
implement it. (I don't have time, I work for a living. :)

If some one captures a running series of ASCGIF19 images and wrote
a program to display them as a movie it would be mind bobbling!

One could easily optimize it to update only the changed "letters"
and it could be quiet fast.

Its a thought anyway.
