I've been trying....trying to hard to make things work with Gallery2. First there was creating an SQL database, fine I'll go ahead and roll with that. Then there was the ugly interface, overabundant amount of modules to pick and choose from, the inablility to simply pull from local existing directories without a php localization module being installed, and the last nail in the coffin was the need of mod_rewrite module for apache.

Come back to me Gallery 1.5, I'm sorry I ever strayed. I only went to Gallery2 because Gallery1.4 left me when my hard drive crashed. I swear it will never happen again.

For me, Gallery 1.5 just looks better, runs faster and makes more sense. Maybe if I had 5 gajillion photos or a brand new speedy webserver I'd feel differently.
