I've taught many beginners how to use WordPress and that is probably the hardest thing for them to grasp. I almost always install the Flexible Upload plugin from http://blog.japonophile.com/flexible-upload/ because you can set a maximum size and thumbnail size. It helps a lot but there's still room for improvement. For example, I'd love to see thumbnail sizes specified in the theme. They could then be generated on the fly to the correct size the first time then cached. I have to agree with you about improving attachment uploading.
