I fully understand. To me, it's a win that we can just define exactly what 
we need as a macro.
But I can also see, how we're loosing plenty people with that approach.

Just listen to the sound of it...

Missing feature? Write a macro.


Go tell that to someone using MS Office and then
observe the look on their face from the mere suggestion. :D

Simple image tiddler link:
  
title: $:/_my/macros/imglink
tags: $:/tags/Macro

\define imglink(tiddler) <$link to="""$tiddler$""">[img[$tiddler$]]</$link>

Or use linkimg @ tb5 <http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#linkimg> for a more 
sophisticated deal.

Simple external image link:

title: $:/_my/macros/linkimgx
tags: $:/tags/Macro

\define linkimgx(tiddler,ref) <a href="$ref$">[img|$img$]]</a>

Or, again, use linkimg @ tb5 <http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#linkimg> to 
also link external targets.

You can think of it as that:

But the lack of consistency does have me tripping over my feet a bit as I

...or you can think that TW doesn't prescribe too much of a solution for you
when you might need something slightly different.

Possibly, it's perhaps just a matter of not having had a conversation
as to whether some of these things could be more core-prominent these days.

I believe, @Jeremy would ping authors to ask for a core contribution,
provided he saw it first and then gave it a thought along these lines.

Best wishes,
