The splotchiness on that simple chess animation makes this GIF feature a nonstarter.

That's a bit hyperbolic. The windmill one is honestly not terrible (slight flicker on the door).

Honestly, you have to think about the use case. GIFs are going to be little throwaway things that you're pasting into Discord or meme-ing.

Nobody's reaching for a GIF if they're looking for professional results.

It's a shame that the SVG output seems to be limited to static vector graphics only though - or rather I couldn't get it to produce anything with the <animate> attribute.

Yeah, what's up with those splotches? Are those watermarks? I am sure they weren't there a few months ago.
