Personally, I also prefer to not use lossy compression for regular
user interface image resources. I don't think it makes sense to
introduce compression artefacts, regardless of how small, in these
cases.
Last I checked, PNGs were lossless (at least by default, anyway).

While that might be true, I rarely think the difference would matter
at all.
Exactly, so the only real difference between PNG and TIFF would be the
speed-for-space tradeoff, but artifacting shouldn't happen if the PNGs
are made properly.
