Comment (by Otto42):

 While the plugin is extremely handy, this really, really needs to be a
 built in. If not displayed all the time (seriously? one thin extra column
 is cluttered to you), then it needs to be an option. It can be off by
 default, but it must be there.

 Too much of the core code and theme functions require IDs of things as
 input. Users edit themes. This is a fact. And if they're going to be doing
 that, then they very often need this sort of information to do it.
 Pointing them to a plugin for functionality that they *require* is silly.

 I have no problem with information hiding and simplifying the interface,
 but simplifying it to the point where they need third party software to
 make it give them what they need for normal usage is just plain stupid.
