Are there any reason for continue using phpThumbOf in the Modx core now? Why was this never swapped for pThumb and Resizer?
I can't see a single good reason for using this package any more, and the last commit to the repo was in march.

I don't think the core actually has phpThumbOf. It does have the phpThumb library, which is a different matter altogether. In fact, as far as I know, phpThumbOf and phpThumbsUp and pThumb all use that library, just with varying degrees of efficiency.

I believe phpThumbOf has been officially sunset with pThumb being the recommended replacement. I know I have seen performance benefits switching sites over to pThumb, and that's without enabling Resizer support (recommended).
Uninstall phpThumbOf, install pThumb, site continues as normal. The syntax is the same as using phpThumbOf and so far i've had no issues with it at all.

And the pThumb package even includes a fallback phpthumbof snippet, for those buried chunks and tpls that use the phpthumbof output modifier. So you don't even have to dig through your site looking for tags to change!
