The main attraction of gallery 2, is that in addition to the web
interface, and the easy way it allows you to upload pictures (I like the
java applet that lets you drag pictures from the file manager directly
to the upload queue), it offers and external interface that can be
interfaced from several programs. I use the KDE photo manager - digikam
- which has a plugin for gallery2.


The main downside of gallery2 is that it has a broken EXIF
implementation that while it gives correct data, it taxes the CPU
heavily when browsing images with EXIF data. So you need a high end
server to run it with any sort of performance.
