Hi Tim,
I'll agree with all of this, and a startup wizard might be a good solution for
plugin preferences and GRASS setup. Some plugins certainly get used around
here, such as the scalebar and north arrow. Others would be useful, like quick
print, but noone knows what/where they are. I see several people hide as many
unused toolbars as they can, since it distracts attention away from the
important stuff--the map in the middle. Besides me, I don't see any interest at
my office in the niche plugins, like mapserver export and others. I see good
potential of usage in the interpolation and ftools plugins.
In my view, the special attraction of QGIS is it's relatively simple,
easy to understand interface. The plugin infrastructure, of course, lets
the use get as deep as he wants into all the sophisticated GIS analyses,
but the beginning user can easily dip his big toe and start making some
maps, without getting frustrated, or overwhelmed right at the outset. So
I tend to agree with Mike that plugins should be disabled by default.
