I completely agree that the problems associated with the plug-in ecosystem arise as a result of design choices in core WordPress. It’s not just technical API design, though — it’s also business logic and community architecture. WordPress didn’t stay a blogging engine, but became an everything platform, with plugins needed to fulfill vastly expanded ambitions. The inadequacies of the extensibility design have much more severe consequences when stretched to encompass such sprawling scale and scope.
