Really, it's pity that you don't want to support imagefield.
This solution has a future, it is a drupal way, and the image module will be removing from drupal in the future.
I would like to use this module, I can see that is serious developed, but this is a step back.
Imagefield/filefield has so many settings and options what image hasn't.

Subscribing. I also agree that imagefield support is important - especially as there is currently no way to crop uploaded images that I am aware of with node gallery.
Not only is imagefield the future, it's the present. There are features that we want to implement that are made much harder by the fact that we aren't using imagefield. Here's just a few benefits to moving to imagefield sooner rather than later:
image_fupload/uploadify/whatever_bulk_uploader_is_drupal_module_of_the_week becomes not only a possibility, but a fairly easy add-on module. This is by far the most requested feature we have: #477472: Integrate with SWFupload/Image Fupload
The nasty, scary, batch processing and most of the AHAH code shouldn't be needed any more. We can offer single uploads via imagefield OOTB, and offer batch uploading with the image_fupload add-on.
The views rewrite gets *a lot* easier, as imagefield comes with Views2 integration free.
It will make the D7 port much easier.
It's more "doing it the Drupal way", rely on other proven modules for infrastructure, focus on what we do best, make the module smaller overall.
It's what Drupal users are used to seeing, and will hopefully cut down on repeat support issues.
I've talked with kmonty on this, and he's fine with someone taking a crack at this. He's swamped, but I have a couple of days off towards the end of January that I will devote to trying to get this in. If I can get it to work, I will commit a new CVS branch 6.x-3.x.
If anyone else wants to jump in and help contribute, feel free to do so. I'll update this ticket as I make progress.
@justintime, thanks for the brain-cracking.. and i agree with you, it must be sooner, especially important for community sites. and do consider this as well http://drupal.org/project/imagefield_avatar

+1 for this feature. I really need to be able to re-crop thumbnails with either imagefield_crop or imagecache javascript crop - http://drupal.org/project/imagecrop. Being able to manipulate the thumbnails is the one thing that is ruining this otherwise perfect module.
While I haven't had as much time as I'd like to work on it, I have been making progress on this in 3.x. All the big features are in place, and while I haven't worked out the entire upgrade path just yet, I can guarantee there will be a upgrade path that does not involve re-importing any images.
Just wanted to let everyone know there is still work being done on 3.x/imagefield+views.
The CCK imagefield integration is pretty much done in NG 3.x, but there are other things that make it pre-alpha quality. While I can't recommend using 3.x yet, I can tell you that there is *zero* chance imagefield integration will be removed :)

I'm interested to know how you would like to use this feature?
#2
Is there going to be support for imagefield?
Many other modules plug into imagefield, such as imagefield crop, imagefield annotate, imagefield fupload.
Imagefield is the future, especially since it's going into core in D7 and will probably replace upload.
#3
there'll be no support for imagefield in 2.x, maybe when the druapl 7 come out, i'll consider it.

Image module has nothing to do with this module.
#7
I'm starting to agree that ImageField is the way it should be done going forward. That said, I wouldn't expect to see it until 7.x-3.x-div.

NG3 will be using the cck way.

This has already been implemented? Or is this just planned?
