We are unable to manually curate "interesting" plugins for the home page like
app stores would. But we still want them to use the plugins site to explore
what plugins exist, rather than use it just as a different search field from
Google's.
So the idea was to generate "top lists" of interesting plugins based on their
properties. What kinds of plugins are interesting in some way, and can be
highlighted for people who want to explore?
* The ones that most people use.
* The ones that have recently been updated.
* The ones that are trending right now ("used a lot more than in the past").
As to the difference between the first and third, it's basically the difference
between Nokia and iPhone market shares back in 2010. Absolute numbers: Nokia
wins. Growth: iPhone wins.
Also, I totally stole the idea from packagecontrol.io, because it's great :-)
