Doesn't the one contradicts the other?

The Gallery sidebar allows easy storage of artwork via drag'n drop from the
document canvas, it can be enhanced via extensions, and provides a WYSIWYG
preview. The focus is primarily on clipart.

In general it is beneficial to have alternative access to the same functions
(eg. via main menu, toolbar, context menu - and sidebar). Shortcomings of the
Gallery are collected on the META ticket.
