I'm a student, freelance technology writer, and functional programming enthusiast myself. In particular I found it sort of weird that there isn't an official plugin repository or even a system for packaging multiple components into one container, say for language support you might have clippings, text factories, scripts, and CLMs etc for intelligent autocomplete and fuller syntax highlighting.
I'm sure you can do all of these things separately but it's very useful to have one mechanism that unites all the disparate pieces and allows for a higher level of abstraction for the user. I've heard of bbpackage but it's not working for me at the moment.
