Comment (by dd32):

 Personally I don't feel like these deserve a dedicated 'section' such as
 tools, and treating them as anything other than what they really are,
 plugins, feels a little weird to me.

 I personally feel that this would be better surfaced through what was
 termed "Plugin Categories", perhaps with a more curated listing rather
 than purely plugin author tagging
 For example,
  - The 'Development' category would include Debug Bar, Transients Manager,
 WP CLI, Query Monitor, etc.
  - The Site Management category might have WP CLI, User Switching, etc.
  - The Widgets category would have a range of plugins which add widgets
  - The Editing category would have a bunch of plugins which add Gutenberg
 blocks, Sliders, Ad blocks, etc.

 That all said, If there were say a Widgets category, you'd expect that
 you'd be able to quickly get into that 'Add plugins from the Widget
 category' view from the widgets screen somehow.
