On the node submission form it is really easy to create aliases and I use it all the time. When creating new nodes, I haven't missed the pathauto module one second.
The category module might make this easier for you - it creates categories (i.e. 'terms') as nodes, so you get to enter a URL on the 'add/edit category' page, same as on the 'add/edit' page for any other node type. This is one of the many advantages of having categories as nodes, IMO.
I think it could potentially benefit from better URL alias integration. Like, on the 'list terms' page (administration section), it would be very convenient if you could add/edit/maintain your term's URL aliases in batch mode. It sounds like a much more interesting feature than say, the synonym terms support or the related terms support.
Doing this would be tricky, as it would tie a non-taxonomy-module feature directly into the taxonomy admin interface. There would have to be a lot of if(module_exist('path')) checks going on. I also don't think that there's room for this field in the table on the 'list terms' page. Cheers, Jaza.
