In general, I'd rather use one or more ready-made third party plugins, letting developers decide in concert which one fits the current interface best - I'll bet that the needs of BibEdit is different from WebTag, for example. As long as we can use them unmodified (or commit the modifications to a community repository) we won't have to constantly develop to synchronize with new technologies and libraries. Also, we're already consolidating the most important parts by standardizing on jQuery. - -- Victor Engmark <http://l0b0.wordpress.com/> “If you already know what recursion is, just remember the answer.
