I used to use this exclusively for my animations. I have since, however,
switched to Ulead's GIF Animator. It allows you to make much smaller file
sizes by allowing you to make a "cell" of just the moving part, leaving the
rest untouched. It makes a big difference in download times.

Ulead's is not free, but IMO well worth the small investment.
