With respect, I think that sort of misses the point. This is meant for
the non-programmer.
However, as it readily works as a plugin, there is no burning need for it
to be in core. That is, nothing is lost by not having it "always
available".
So... I guess I agree with your conclusion (not needed in core), but not
your reasoning.
Actually, there is an advantage to this not being "always available" as
part of core: lazy plugin authors would probably use it, even though it
_isn't_ meant for them. So in that sense there is a specific advantage to
leaving this as a plugin, that is actually _lost_ by making it core.
Great plugin, though. I'll probably use it myself!
