I have always been a (Net)PBM(Plus) guy, mostly because pbmplus was the first such software I used, and because I found it easier to keep track of what gets done in which order when it's an explicit pipeline. However, I haven't really updated my opinions in the last 20 years or so. Does Netpbm even still exist?

Yep. Most of my experiments that involve graphicals output a PxM file because it's trivial to do. There was a link on here a few {weeks,months} back about outputting PxM frames for video because it was fast and easy to feed into ffmpeg, avplay, etc.
