Well I may have been going a little like a bull at
the gate on this. So here are some arguments:
The image quality that PIL produces is very bad
compared to Imagemagick. You may want to scale down
an image with PIL and compare it to the on produced
by convert. Or you may check here for some examples:

Additionally, Pythonmagick can handle much more formats
and has a lot of nice features. Especially nice to
have would perhaps be MNG support to have animated
images and of course the multitude of filters that
IM offers. Some examples are found here:
http://www.procoders.net/pythonmagick/tutorial.html
Dependency-wise I don't find it that evil. I think
it needs graphicsmagick which can use a lot of extra
libs but works with a few, too and boost which is
not that big.
