I strongly disagree with bombguy's review. I found Gallery 2 to be extremely easy to install and configure. The web-based initial configuration worked great, and I was up and running in less than 10 minutes.

I agree with gunark - the installation is very easy and the tool works very well. It does everything I need/expect without any issues.

Version 2.0 was already working very well, but since the update to version 2.2 "Double Double" it's really thrilling! You can create a hierarchy and assign an icon to galleries even if the image you want to assign is not contained in this gallery! When uploading, the correct date is automatically selected from the EXIF data! And this is only the beginning...
PS: You need to take some time and configure the plugins correctly, but it is worth it.

Short review: you can make it work, but expect to spend days, not "10 minutes" fully deploying the beast for anything but the most trivial installations.
Pros: a clean, simple, gallery add-in for your budding LAMP web empire. Good architecture. Some nifty plug-ins. Some even work.
Cons: confusing for users to add images. Poor import support. Ugly templates. Insane, sloppy CSS.
Both sides claim it integrates with WordPress 2.x. It does not. Prepare to spend hours in template hell sorting out the mess.
