The key question is whether the extensions captures the user to use a
particular set of tools or not. If there is
1) a standard framework for extensions
2) a fallback mechanism
3) the extensions use public APIs
4) the APIs have open-source reference implementations available
5) the implementations only use platform-neutral APIs (e.g. Java, ISO
C, SQL, DOM)
I cannot see any harm in extensions.
