Exactly, that's the real problem. You spend plenty of time tagging your images, but then this information is basicaly useless outside of MC :(

I happen to use MC for video just about every day.  Not so for pictures, though that could change as MC12 develops into a more powerful photo management tool.

I too would like to see improved ability to create DVD slideshows and publish HTML "galleries" with thumbnails "contact sheets" (which when clicked on lead to the full image).

However, to me, the HTML gallery thing is not such a huge deal.  I just use Flickr and their great Flickr Uploadr application.  I can then just select the images I want to send to Flickr in MC, right click Send To --> External --> Flickr and all is good.  True, I have to manually enter in any metadata on the images, but the file names transfer, and entering a few keywords using Flickr Uploadr isn't too hard...

Ohhh, 20 Mb a month upload and very plain layout with Flickr.

Plus, as pointed out, you lose the work you've done within MC tagging.
If use an external tool/site I'd just as soon stick with what I have now. It extracts all the data in the files and presents the albums quite nicely.

Which is what I'd like to see MC do.

glynor:
I actually like their layout and tools quite well.  It's clean, simple, and very useable (and offers a lot of options).

I paid for a "pro" membership (it's only $25 per year), and I've never had a problem with the upload limits.  Of course... I paid.  The free one doesn't offer anywhere near as much...

I haven't uploaded anything new to it this summer yet (I've been too busy), but you can check my flickr page out if you want...  (These are all personal, fun shots -- not my work stuff at all.)

Another great idea would be to do more advanced photo transitions, like Photostory 3 (free download from MS).  It makes photo transitions like you would see on a TV show (like a Ken Burns look)

Oh, I forgot that MC can already do this.  It is a super hidden feature called Auto Pan.  When images are playing, you can hit the "p" key to turn it on.

I would like this option to be turned on and off by the user, I recommend you set in ON by default as most peopel don't know it is there.  Even better would be a panel to customize it a bit. (agressiveness of Pans)

Was it a full-on meeting, with JimH banging fist on the boardroom table demanding DVD authoring and webalbum creativity by the end of the month?
