I don't really see an advantage to having management. I have had it with a number of hosting sites, and some unfavorable things come along with that ability. Like files have to be smaller, can't add an image directly to your site  unless it is in your library  storage first, sorry you have run out of space, you have reached your maximum number of files, you must remove some before adding more or upgrade your plan. That sort of thing. Squarespace has their own compression and storage methods and when using  image search you are seeing a facsimile of an image on your site, not an actual file itself. You cannot delete what doesn't exist  and if you could, what if that image was posted on your site and you accidentally hit delete?  There are a lot of things to consider here. I don't use that search function, It can be helpful but I choose to use a very nice Sony free image management program that sorts, creates folders, has editing functions,  and allows me to easily upload to Squarespace.

This opinion seems really odd to me.

Of course, I want to be able to control, organize, add and delete my image assets. Having odd images that are no longer used, or are the wrong version, in my image library wastes space and time. A good file management system, allowing me to create directories and otherwise organize my images would be a HUGE benefit.
