I also have a site where I really need it to be easy for users to upload photos, and it doesn't look like imagefield and imagecache are the answer to that, either. I might try one of the gallery mods. I've only used the gallery that comes with image.
I'm using it with 5.2... I used it with 4.5 or 4.7 and uploaded some hundreds of images with no problem. Yep... the upload part is hard to fine tune (permissions? quota? taxonomy?) So your main problem was uploads and erratic behaviour, is it?
So it seems like the module has a reputation for being buggy, and is going wrong for me in more than one way, so I'm interested in alternatives. I'd prefer that they don't require custome theming, though, because I haven't gotten into that yet.
Well my problem was css were scattered in gallery2, block, gallery etc... and having something that look good in drupal *and* in gallery as a stand alone app was not that fun + some repetition not perfect integration in "messages". I'm not saying that it was terribly hard or impossible... just it was boring and I think hard to maintain.
My concern is that while I find positive Image module looks like a page node... maybe it looks like a page node too much, users should have "less" freedom.
Just first impression... actually I was interested in your opinion to standarize/invest in one module to build up galleries.
