It is definitely frustrating to have to start using an extension. On the upside, it does enable some other useful stuff (like the possibility of TiddlySnip-like functionality).
The extension is so small that I plan to distribute it embedded within TW5 itself. So, if you've got a TW file but don't have TiddlyFox installed, you'll be able to right click and save a special like within TiddlyWiki in order to extract and save the extension.
