As someone who greatly enjoys browsing the site and looking at everything for fun, I much prefer sprite sheets over downloads as it's just an inconvenience to have to download things, especially considering my internet is really not good, making downloading a real pain sometimes.
I definitely agree at them being a lot nicer to browse, having to download them just to look at them is a load of crap.
I agree that they are easier to keep track of, but I personally just keep sprites organized in separate folders. But I don't understand how
using them is any easier? As someone that uses Game maker, ripping sprites and animating them can be a real hassle if you need to do it a lot.
Game makers sprite sheet viewer does not let you even zoom in, so if you are ripping multiple frames from a sheet it can be a little hard to see
where the borders are at and you may end up cutting part of the sprites off. Where if someone just provides a Zip file, I can open up the frames in bulk
super quickly and be on to the next thing.

I won't argue with that considering I don't really know. I would love to see a poll on this.
