So apparently I can now use Post Thumbnails in WordPress without resorting to all sorts of 
CUH-razy hackishness! This is fantastic. It only takes the following code, inserted into
the requisite areas:

>	if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) )
>	add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
>	
>	//insert post thumbnail if present
>	if (  (function_exists('has_post_thumbnail')) && (has_post_thumbnail())  ) {  
>	  echo '<a href="' . the_permalink() . '">' . the_post_thumbnail() . '</a>';
>	}

This is so easy!

Much simpler than say the way I do it in ExpressionEngine:

>	{post_image}

Or maybe it's not...
