I use attachments for images only. Here are the problems I see with the current method using attachments:

1) Attachments are stored in the database until you manually invoke a command in admin cp to export them.

2) Attachments are not quoted. (big problem when meaning of reply is lost due to not having the picture quoted also)

3) Only one inline attachment per post. (full size image, thumbnails are useless for me)

4) Members cannot reuse images. (easy to do with [img] tags)

I created an upload script in php that allows my members to upload images and then paste the [img] tag into their reply. Works great! All the images are stored in one directory.
