But why?

Most of the table manager functions are already in Core. It is perfectly possible to add and remove columns without the table manager.

If some of the table manager functions are still missing in core, it is better to bring the missing functionality into core, rather than enabling Table manager by default.

I am not a fan of having many Python plugins enabled by default, because they slow down the loading of QGIS. Also, Python plugins are a major source of additional bugs ...

Agree with you, Bernd, that features like the ones provided by "Table Manager" plugin should be in QGIS by default. However, installing (and enabling) by default other dev's plugins mean that QGIS dev team should somehow be responsible of its stability; there are already Core plugins (Processing, DBManager...) and I'm not sure they should have to do this with other plugins. +1 to have "Table Manager" features in Core but not really in favour of activating plugins unless they integrate the Core plugins schema.

        Hi all,
        I wonder what is the criterion to mark a plugin as featured.
        There is
        even one featured plugin which is now deprecated.
        Perhaps we should have clear criteria for inclusion, and keep
        the list
        updated?
        All the best.


    With new users in mind, I wonder if the plugins page is really the
    resource for picking a plugin, or if they just search through the
    plugin manager for things they might need, cause it does provide
    the exact same informations as the website (minus those tags).

    More important for me would be the question, which plugins are
    installed and enabled by default. And I ask the question again (I
    never got an answer on that before): Why e.g. is the Table Manager
    not installed and available by default? As ESRI shape is the major
    output format, a novice starting to use QGIS has no tool to alter
    the attribute table, which is IMHO an unnecessary obstacle.
    I bet there are not few people fumbling around in the dbf before
    realizing that there is a plugin available.

    Just my two cents
    Bernd
