What do you look for in a gallery system?

[robmiller]

Imagine, hypothetically speaking, that two dashing and fantastic members of this forum had decided to make a simple, fast, efficient and in-every-respect amazing gallery system—free from the horrible disgustingness of virtually every other gallery system in existence!

PHP/mySQL/GD

Features that will definitely be included:

Album support
Comprehensive user permissions and management
Tagging
Searching
Totally simple adding of images, web-based or FTP with automatic thumbnailing etc.
Flexible plugin architecture
Probably zillions of other things I'm forgetting

So yeah if someone could tell me the things they hate about other gallery systems or would love to see in a new one that would be awesome and their dreams would become reality and stuff yeah!

(Feel free to post them in the form of tickets here BTW!)

Anything specific, guys? I know there are lots of things I personally detest about Gallery2 that will be improved upon, so what about you? Or is Gallery2 perfect?

As for theme integration, that's definitely on the list. So is compatibility with existing CMS/portal systems (WordPress for definite out-of-the-box but I don't know about others).

Well this is going to be SimpleGal 2, so it's already on the list
