Imagemagick doesn't do lossless rotation.
I'm sure there are better tools out there, but ImageMagick is already available on the servers and is already used in MediaWiki, which means that further use of it is likely to be ok, as opposed to introducing some new software.
Cropping images is another function that ImageMagick can do that has been suggested before as a possible inclusion to MediaWiki. A Javascript interface could handle that quite nicely.
