I think that a -noplugins flag is a no brainer, that should be included. I'm still on the fence about adding the ability to disable plugins via the interface. The model so far for installing and disabling externals, plugins, etc. is putting them in the user-installed folder or moving them out of that folder. Its very simple and easy to maintain.
definitely not.
i find myself cursing everytime i want to use/not use a given gui-plugin.
I think what Hans means is that it's very simple and easy for him to maintain as the Pd-Extended guy. Got a handy plugin for managing plugins? Throw it in this directory. Is it pretty stable? He'll throw it in the distro. Not maintaining it anymore? He can just remove it from the distro. In none of those scenarios does Hans end up with new functionality in the core of the GUI that he is now forced to maintain or remove altogether.
