It's really nice to generate just one set of graphs/diagrams and use them both
for small diagrams in papers and also on A1 posters without any hassle. But

Not to mention that my perfect-at-any-scale vector graphics will pretty much
always be at least an order of magnitude smaller on-disk and in-email than
your PNGs will be. :P
