A lot of us upload most images before page creation because we don't like seeing incomplete/under construction pages. This has long been a sore spot among a lot of contributing members. So we upload images beforehand and write text beforehand so that we can then work on layout and present a complete page at the moment of submission.
Edit: and the new "Under Construction" option doesn't help this because those pages still appear on the main What's New page. If they were entirely invisible to all but the page owner and then received a creation date that was the same as the one when the writer finally finished the page, that would be a great addition to the site and would provide more of an incentive for me (and perhaps several others) to make the full switch to the new editor and leave behind the old practice of copying and pasting from our custom objects and other workshop pages.
