IMCE
Jan also mentions IMCE: http://drupal.org/project/imce , which I just yesterday discovered to tackle this problem.
Actually, I mention filefield_sources in conjunction with IMCE
IMCE can expose a security vulnerability where any user who has permission to add files can sometimes delete files another user added previously. If you use filefield_sources as well as the IMCE file browser you can circumvent this insecurity.

Don't forget Media!
For D7.
We plan to make Media *the* WYSIWYG solution for rich media.
ckEditor / fckEditor templates
I don't know how much others are using it, but I love the template button in the ckEditor (or older fckEditor). It allows you to set up small snippets of markup in an XML document, and create a little preview for them..
Then the admin user can click the template button, drop in a preset template for the page layout (2-column, floating left image, whatever you set up), and then just start changing the text and image content. Works well..
Thanks
