I don't know why you would use insert image from url, when pasting the image url into the editor will display it automatically?

You're wrong. Only "pasting + Enter" will display it automatically. This behaviour is not obvious, a lot of users don't know about it. Also it's not suitable if user don't want go to next line.

Btw, your post is not related to problem described above, because button exists. I just suggest better place to display it.

You are correct, apologies. However, if you go back into the post to edit, click at the end of the link it then parses the image.

Oh and the post is related, I was describing why would you use the insert image when pasting the link parses the image (granted it needs enter to be pressed, but I have seen the behaviour when pressing enter isn't required).

The automatic parsing of image links in the editor is something that gives me problems, as well.  Frequently, we need to insert several images whose links vary by one character.  Our preferred way of doing this is to simply copy the link, move the cursor back a bit, delete the wrong character, add the correct character, and post.  However, with the automatic parsing, as soon as I move the cursor back into the link, the image parses and won't allow me to change the link, as needed.  :(

Don't get me wrong, I like the automatic parsing.  (I'd like it better, if I could change a character in a link before it parsed, :whistle: but ...)  I'm used to using "Insert image from URL."  I said all of this to say that I support the original post here where it's asserted that that option is too hidden - not at all intuitively found.
