  > No more plugins, it's all a single codebase now Interesting that it was considered a benefit before. I guess integration made it easier to manage than adopting the plugins.

That is no longer the case, the project has matured to the point that a optimal choice is known meaning that the existing plugin system only provided the user with a footgun. This they folded plugins and their developers into the codebase and built a database of known optimal configurations.
