Interesting! One of the problems I find with Netlogo is the ability to have large (in terms of lines of code) projects. The solution I came up with was to use Netlogo as a main and create an API for my model via the extension. The other problem extensions solve is the ability to create complex functions and apply them to the agents (for example, machine learning for swarm rendezvous points).
If others think it's worthwhile and think it may be useful, I may create some detailed examples of a few models library implementations using an extension as a toy to allow for people to solve my issues.
