Here’s some ongoing (and finished) work to address some of the feedback.
- Import Images as Planes is now native functionality.
- Node Wrangler bundled as core add-on again, work ongoing to make it mostly native.
- Easy way to migrate add-ons that are no longer bundled with Blender.
- Single button to install extensions and legacy add-ons to reduce confusion about legacy.
- Make extensions easier to deploy in a studio environment. Also new documentation and solving some long standing issues with deploying other types of scripts.
