It's just eyeballs and opinions Lars.  I use flickr but I also keep  
all my photos in a local gallery install because I still think sets  
of sets is a good idea (and I like my personal data backed up/ 
local).  That and no one has ever supported or rebuilt a gallery that  
could actually be integrated into a blog in a way I've liked (or  
required a lot of massaging/scripting/etc).  I think some way of  
tapping into a gallery install would be fantastic that didn't require  
me to keep lists of files, or outright directories, etc, in check.   
Rather that gallery (or insert some uncreated-local-able service)  
have an api and we just tap on that through typo or whatnot.

I'm not sure what the correct answer is moving forward, just that  
those who do a lot of photography and blog will continue to stir the  
pot and someone with skill will help bridge the divide one day.
