It was even more difficult in XWiki, since the user had to scroll down to the attachment area, expand the upload form, browse for a file, submit, wait a lot for the file to be uploaded, and then go back and do all the steps again, several times.

You will notice the ~~Add another file~~ and the red ~~X~~ buttons.
