Comment (by knutsp):

 A good UI focuses on the task. The task the image post format is there to
 guide is posting an image, with an optional description or comment, and
 make the post look like an image post. An extra add image button for the
 description field is just confusing. The point of post formats in general,
 other than the standard format, is to reduce freedom, and guide the author
 in doing so.

 Wanting to add an extra image upload button is like going "Yo dawg, I
 heard you like uploading images so I put an image uploader to your image
 uploader so you can upload an image while you upload an image".

 A possible compromise would be to make the extra media button visible only
 after the "format image" has been added. This could satisfy both sides.
