Little bit of history: I was at some point hoping to introduce the equivalent of Ant's file sets or stuff like that into some plugins, hence the Plexus Resources (1), which would allow some serious performance improvements, but that got never picked up. It might be a reason to prefer Plexus IO. Apart from that, the plexus stuff is in whitespread use overall in Maven and eliminating it might have unexpected side effects.
