>It always surprised me that people flocked to ImageMagick after that.
It's an SEO thing. Searching "resize image" would almost always lead to ImageMagick examples that would work well enough to not require looking elsewhere. Almost every time I've used it, it's been for a few simple image operations (downsize, rotate, etc) that happen once on a user upload of a tiny site so performance wasn't a concern.
