geirlur: I find the new media uploader adds at least one extra step to including a gallery as now you have to manually select everything you uploaded and "create a gallery" from it to include. I see what they were going for, but I think it introduced a performance hit to productivity as well.
One other thing I noticed, they've removed the ability to specify a custom uploads folder on new installs entirely, and also defaulted video embeds to 500 width (thus removing it form the general settings). The logic they use is that it is better suited in a them specific function file and, if not present, default is now 500 pixels wide with an auto height of 1.5 times the width.
The default filter for jpeg_quality is also now deprecated. This needs to be set in the functions.php file now to apply a quality filter when images are uploaded and saved.
I'm sure like everything, I will get used to it. But until I get used to it, it does seem to cause a productivity hit in terms of efficiency.
Wordpress Devs are typically pretty arrogant, in my opinion, when it comes to any type of criticism or negative feedback. Certainly they tend to get really defensive in the face of negative reaction to a feature. Thus, I highly doubt they'll change anything on this -- so people may as well get used to it.
