I don't see any reason to change the textfield to textarea.

Well, I do agree : when you want to put descriptions, you often begins with the first one and continue on. For now, the texfield comes above the textfield of the next image, obliging you to click somewhere and click again on the next input and so on.

So textfield are best in term of ergonomy as they expand below, and you can resize them manually.

Agree. The usability of this plup widget is indeed problematic because of the tiny & expanding ALT + TITLE input fields.

The filefield_sources_plupload offers a much better user experience. It uses plupload only for uploading and leaves the alt & title input fields to the native drupal image module. Unfortunately there is only a dev version for filefield_sources_plupload yet.
