TiddlySlidy, etc deliberately have the asthetic of being complete
products, but are made from a collection of TiddlyWiki plugins. I
haven't made a good fist of explaining that, but you can see this from
the source code recipes:
http://svn.tiddlywiki.org/Trunk/verticals/TiddlySlidy/plugins/split.recipe
You seem to be asking us all to standardise on using plugins from
other developers. Actually one developer. Which plugins a developer
uses is all a matter of taste and judgement and may involve a number
of factors, size, complexity, security, reliability, self-development,
testing, being in source code control, licensing, speed, etc, etc. Or
just a matter of style.
Programming isn't a zero sum game, and there is room for many
different overlapping plugins all coalescing on TiddlyWiki core.

Documentation, and publishing verticals is an area where enthusiasts
like yourself, who don't develop code can contribute.

I guess some of your concerns stem from one of TiddlyWikis greatest
issues: lack of discoverability for plugins. A conventional repository
of individual plugins is what I hear most newcomers expecting, and
failing to find.
FWIW, I publish my plugins, along with tests, documentation and
examples, one-vertical per plugin, in anticipation of a repository,
