AtomiconGallery
When I give a site to a client they are expecting to be able to use it. They don't want nonsense like buried features, complex menus or bizarre methods for managing things that should be simple.

AtomiconGallery is a component that fits this bill. For the client it makes logical sense. Folders contain folders and files. An uncomplicated upload system makes a potentially arduous task light weight. The simple and direct interface is clear about what the controls do.

The front-end is very customisable using template overrides. May seem obvious but not everybody does this well, or at all.

The one downside is that to use a javascript library other than MooTools-based SlimBox you'll need to do a bit of coding. On sites where I had killed mootools in favor of jQuery I had some minor problems. Changes to the view file fixed this.
