 > ... When do you really want to set a crop like this? I rather would
 invest time in having better tools to create a good crop like a better UI
 and auto detect the best crop.

 The typical scenario for me is when I need to have a portrait-sized image
 (custom image size) for the single page and a square image (WP's thumbnail
 size) on an archive page. Typically, the square image on the archive page
 will be cropped incorrectly. To solve this, the user has to edit the image
 and apply a crop manually to only the thumbnail. Experience has shown this
 to be tricky for users to do.

 Alternatively, I could add another image upload box so that there's a
 dedicated image for both the square and portrait images, but I feel like
 that's kind of lame.

 BTW, the reason I have to use the WP thumbnail size is that the crop tool
 won't allow us to apply a crop to only a custom image size. I'm all for
 improving that situation too, but this ticket seemed like a decent
 stopgap. [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/19889 Possibly relevant:
