I would prefer to use pdf figures in my latex documents. They are smaller, they support alpha blending, and unlike png they are scalable. Unfortunately, most academic journals still request postscript files, but this may change some day. Printers may eventually use pdf as their native format instead of postscript. Not that I am advocating adding more backends to mpl, just more contributors. :) Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
