Here's another really good article on it (even better, I'd say):
css-tricks.com/responsive-images-y...

If you only read one of these, read this one.

My basic conclusion is that for general use, <img> with srcset is more ideal. When you really need to be specific and have higher control of art direction <picture> gives you the control that <img> + srcset doesn't.
