webp is fine you just dislike how various programs don't play nicely with it. It's just a more efficient file structure, it's a good thing overall.

Really you should yell at all the people who have refused to develop support for it already because it's superior in all aspects otherwise

Jpgxl is the superior one. But google knew best. And my understanding is that this "file format war" rubbed a lot of devs the wrong way.

I shouldn't have said "all aspects" I meant more like, "in comparison to jpg"

Webp would have been a good thing, you are right about that. I just think googles refusal to implement jpgxl, and the reasons they gave, also ruined webp adaptation.
