For those on slower connections uploading larger files, it also presents a progress bar, which is something that is needed to show users that theres an upload in progress. Its a shame that so many web server setups have security in place to prevent such uploads, and that the flash plugin has to be so tempramental on different OS's..

The upshot is that they wanted multiple upload capabilities, a progress bar and a few other fiddly bits. Other than that, how are you liking 2.5? You really need to install Ozh's <a href="http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/wordpress-admin-menu-drop-down-css/" rel="nofollow">Admin Menu Drop Down CSS</a>. It makes interacting with the admin a MUCH nicer experience. There was much contention on the wp-hackers mailing list in re: Flash uploader.
