This works very well, and makes it super intuitive for non technical users to upload images by just dragging on dropping like they do with word processors, email sites, blogs, etc. Could this be integrated into the new visual editor? I'd love to have both on my wiki!

It's more complicated than that, because we need to keep track of copyright-related information.

They do have some plans to integrate image uploading at some point in the future. However, it may not happen this year.

On a related point, the image (formatting, not uploading) dialog has changed quite a bit in the last week, so you might want to have a look while you're here.

I'm sure that this could be integrated into VisualEditor, yes. However, as Whatamidoing (WMF) says, the extension is not appropriate for Wikimedia's needs, so we will not be working on that. Plans to integrate UploadWizard into VisualEditor are at an early stage.
