If you click my user name, all of those gifs were made using that program. It does decently.
Sapphire do you have a preference program wise for creating images?

One thing to keep an eye out for is that certain older gif programs used to use a single 256 color palette that was shared across every single frame of the gif (creating extra grainy/washed out images).
Depending on the program you may use, there may be an option to toggle this on/off, which will affect the quality of the output (and the filesize of the gif)
Now you have me interested again in gifmaking, i'll have to see what newer programs are out there now >.>
Kali, PS uses a variation of a dithering technique which is why you see those artifacts when zoomed in on your image.
For the nerdy inclined:

If you have your brower window scaled up you'll notice the artifacts more, when the image is viewed normally and not under close inspection it works very well which is why dithering in GIF creation programs is applied to all frames by default.
