I wanted to post this myself, but feared the wrath of the downvoters - it might come across as a bit negative. However, I think the positives should be highlighted: SVG is really, really ideal for these kinds of graphics, and we should be trying to push the technology and be equally impressed with its results.
Not to mention time saving. Can you imagine how long it took him to make that in CSS? I bet it's fun to practice doing this kind of stuff?
Also, if you really want to tick the "in CSS" box you could add them as Data URIs
