It’s only a prompt: “Would you like to install the recommended addons?” You hit ‘yes’ and move on, never thinking about it again until you switch projects for the first time. I don’t get what this fuss is about.
Note that the community is very active for each project. All popular projects like Tailwind and Astro come with their recommended add-on and command-line tools early after their release. But my favorite is when a new project pops up that replaces the original tool and becomes the standard because it got it right, and it didn’t have to ask anyone for permission to do it.
Having bunch of plugins built-in is not any better than having a bunch of plugins
I would argue it’s worse. You can’t choose the things that are actually beneficial to you and how you work.
You can, they are not built in but bundled
That’s just built in with extra steps.
Somehow even worse. Now it comes with and I have to install it separate?

Depends on the resources required and how much benefit it brings to the average user.
Security-wise, yeah? IIRC Microsoft is very nonchalant with checking that there’s nothing malicious in the plugins on their marketplace.
