Thanks for your reply, datiswous. I understand that there are work-arounds such as this, but I'll say again that I think image resizing should be considered as a core function for GS.
Maybe "GetSimple" was intended to mean simple from a code/developer point of view, but what would be great is if it could extend to a users point of view. The beauty of a CMS is that a website is editable from any location by users of all levels of technical skill (in a perfect world). Ideally, you don't want to have to delegate content management functions to separate software that needs to be installed locally.
When you consider that your average website consists primarily of text and images, and you look at all the control you have over the text side in your average WYSIWYG, it becomes clear that the image control side is really a long way behind. I don't mean specifically in GS, but in CMSs in general.
