> The question I keep coming back to in my head is "why are plugins so
complicated that they require complex onboarding or configuration
experiences?"
It is not that they are becomming more complex it is because the user base
is becoming less technical and expect more online assistance. Years ago
one of my plugins had a settings page with an API key and users were happy
to read installation instructions on the read me. Today a large majority
find that too difficult ( based on support requests ) and now they have an
'onboarding experience' to guide them to find an API key and input that.
