Well, flac is hardly superior.

The files are HUGE and there is way less support for flac. The flac is inferior in a sense that the “revolution” would have never happened with flac.

Then again, the whole comparison itself is dumb because it’s apples to oranges comparison, because mp3 is a older lossy codec and flac is newer lossless codec.
