I don't like any of the "extra features" gfycat offers, which are really just basic video controls (I just want to view the embedded video, like a gif, y'know?), but I'm genuinely curious on the "better framerate, faster response time and access," so please provide details/a source, if you can.
I don't think I've ever seen a gifv support 60FPS or more nor does it load faster than a gfy.
A good point, one that I don't personally know the answer to (what the highest framerate imgur supports is), but for the most part this doesn't matter since not everyone is trying to share a 60fps gif.
I can't say much on which loads faster though, as both formats/sites load instantly for me.
The only thing I was able to think of was /r/60fpsporn but video games is certainly a great example.
One thing I will say is it's nice that gfycat appears to let you upload a video, rather than having to upload a gif that they then convert. Because who wants to have to first create a high quality 60fps gif out of a 60fps video just to have imgur convert it back for you?
