I very much agree.

My pain point being that understanding and leveraging all this high-level 
syntax correctly appears to require unveiling a lot more concealed, under-the 
hood knowledge than a "trivial" js-script used to.

Anyhow, I think I'll finally give it a shot, stop shying from plugin 
development and start fiddling with the basics 
<http://tiddlywiki.com/dev/#How%20to%20create%20plugins%20in%20the%20browser> 
to get the gist of it.

In general, I have the impression that plugins...

   - mostly center around new widgets, extending widget functionality
   - perhaps js macros or macros simplifying widget use on top
   - stylesheet shadows to make it look right
   - language shadows for localization (, preferably dictonary tiddlers?)
   - configuration shadows (, also dictionary tiddlers?)

Perhaps missing from the developer docs <http://tiddlywiki.com/dev>, what 
are the standards / recommendations for extending the system-tiddler 
namespace when it comes to plugin modules / components? Is the 
recommendation to simply put it all under 
*$:/plugins/githubuser/pluginname/*?

Best wishes, Tobias.
