PNG supports full color and smooth transparency, so a still GIF is often sharper and easier to edit as a PNG.

GIF can only use 256 colours, so the PNG shows exactly the same colours. Converting doesn't add colour depth that wasn't there.
GIF transparency is on or off for each pixel. The PNG keeps it exactly, with the same hard edges.
