Came here to say the same thing - I hate drag and drop everywhere! I have to resize my browser window, move it around, open up a file browser, resize that, find the file, drag and drop it, close the file browser, and resize my web browser. How annoying! I think it's because it's an OSX paradigm, so stuff that's very design-y tend to use it, and it ends up with the usual OSX "looks nice, isn't very practical" effect.

I love the service though - could use some 'outdoor' shots in urban environments, a crowd, a concert, a subway stop, stuff like that. Bookmarked.

Why resize your browser? cmd+tab to Finder, cmd+n a new Finder window, browse to file, drag it in...

(PC win+e a new explorer window and do the same thing)

I love divvy, but a file input field is still easier. Both options require you to go through a file browser to find your file, but a file input doesn't make you resize any windows then resize them back.
