Just curious

Re: CSS, it just seemed strange to export the red, blue, orange, purple backgrounds as an image that the developer is supposed to stretch out. Seemed like it would be better to export the CSS to have a div, with the colors and linear gradiant as code.

16,081 PointsDifferent uses for different cases. Older browser dont support SVG's for starters, also if a logo or vector image is too complex then a transparent PNG will handle it better than an SVG. I also don't know what you mean by css styles. Do you mean using :before and :after elements to recreate icons/vectors?
