Question:
Why don't we have a simple progress bar (in the core) when uploading files ?
Because there's not a "simple" way of doing it. Every solution I've seen over the years has either been kludgy (using iframes or some such nonsense) or requires something like flash. Supposedly this is easier with the file upload API in HTML5 (says Google), but this isn't supported across all browsers yet.
What would you recommend me to use ?
Your browser status bar. It's told me the progress of my uploads for 10+ years now.
Many frameworks are available. See for example ownCloud http://owncloud.org/ http://gitorious.org/owncloud
Useless link. Could you link to the source that uses it so we don't have to search through 15 git repos to find it?
