If you are submitting an appropriate about of quality stuff, and providing adequate detail in your captions, it doesn't even really save you much time, you still need to write the captions. You only need to load up to 15 images or so for any kind of page in a day anyway (perhaps a limit should be put on the number of images an account can add per day). Bulk uploading primarily benefits those who are overloading the site with bullshit.
I just want to point out that the ability to bulk upload pictures has not been fingered as the cause of server slowdown.
Also the Bulk Uploader allows you to write your captions in the program before you submit for upload. It was designed so that you don't have to go visit the pages one by one. Finally, it can also submit the metadata in the photo for title/description. There is nothing preventing you from writing good captions for your photos with the bulk uploader...it was designed to make it easier for you to make good captions.
It was also designed to make it easy to
use every photo you upload, by giving you a list of sp-formatted links to the photos after upload is complete, so you can embed those links in your trs, mountain pages, whatever.
Sorry, I know the application does have and will continue to have detractors, but the intention behind it and the feature set that went into it was built to ease the production of quality content.
