* To recharge/withdraw money, linking paypal to a bank account is actually easier than jumping hoops with MtGox, Liberty Reserver and other equally hard-to-use intermediaries. (Coinpal/Coincard did a great job in this regard).
Couldn't agree with you more, getting funds in and out of the bitcoin economy is a pretty daunting task and I think this really holds it back from taking off.
I believe one of the coming features on MtGox is automated ACH transfers, but don't quote me on that.
edit... Quote Jed instead:
Everything will still work the same as always for the time being. But expect a lot of positive changes after he takes over including:
Automatic (and free) funding from Euro accounts.
Automatic ACH deposit and withdrawal.
Margin trading.
Interface redesign.
Lifting the $1000 a day withdrawal limit.
