I find it difficult to write a response. I tried IMCE and I think it
is too complex for what we are using images for: simple images that
attach to a text. The image_assist module works for me in this case.

Now whether we should use BUEditor... I see the added value, but I
wonder whether we need it.

I'll let other people spill their thoughts,
