The Unified Login System, it doesn't actually cut down on my need to type login and password at all, does it?
From the point of view of me, all I see different using the new Unified Login System is that I don't have to worry about some user taking my Jidanni username on some MediaWiki wiki that I haven't taken it already on.
Maybe it should just be called the Universal Username reservation system.
I don't see how it might make my day to day need to type Login and password to MediaWiki sites who's cookies aren't already in my browser easier.

It's because you have images disabled. You could move down from that mountain of yours and get a real internet connection, or you could log into each second-level domain separately, plus each of the *.wikimedia.org domains you wish to use.
If you log in to Meta, you only get cookies for meta (plus cookies for other domains transferred via image requests). If you log in to the English Wikipedia, you get cookies for all Wikipedias.
