I really believe that for a MODx user, MaxiGallery is supperior in most ways to G2. For anyone implementing a "new" image gallery on their site, I could not recommend anything other than MaxiGallery. I belive this module to be useful to those users with an existing G2 installation that is too large to efficiently transfer over to MaxiGallery. Anyone else should first take a good look at MaxiGallery.
As being a fan of the G2, I can’t admit to that. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to start a big arguement and I really think that MaxiGallery is pretty awesome for it’s short development time! But G2 has to be more mature according to it’s devolopment time and the big development community. It has a very well defined plugin architecture (with lot’s of plugins available for features which were asked for in the MaxiGallery thread mentioned above - which is, btw. 16 pages long, thus not easy to work through) and core features I really appreciate much, like the possibility to use symlinks to pictures already on the server instead of uploading them again, just to mention one.
MaxiGallery seems better integrated at the moment to modx than G2, which is not astonishing ’cause it was developed for modx, I’m really looking forward to friendly URLs with G2 in modx
MaxiGallery seems to be very hip at this time, personally I think because of it’s cool visual effects (i.e. Lightbox) - but as someone who looks first on accessability for as much users as possible javascript or AJAX on the user side is not sooo desirable
- for example, none of the rich text editors in the backend works when browsing from within my companies network due to content filtering firewalls
But I never was a friend of the "one-tool-fits-all-strategy", so I think there are use cases for both tools. And if doze keeps up his excellent work, maybe one day MaxiGallery could become as mature as G2, which I really would like to see.

Yet, Gallery2 can be useful when several people have to work on galleries and permissions have to be handled...
