Isn't it a huge inconvenience and waste of space/performance to have every single feature as a seperate plugin?

I personally use the InfoPanel which has playercount, heli event etc all in one. It seems a bit weird to have 30 plugins or something just do have an infopanel ingame.

Why aren't all the features inside MagicPanel and then in the config you can choose what you want and dont want?

Keeping everything up to date like this is a nightmare

I am, but i'm just trying to understand why this is. If this was a single plugin with everything then I would probably consider switching but I am interested in knowing what the point is to have 30 plugins instead of 1 plugin

Hi Goldie, 

There are many reasons why this is better from a development and user standpoint. 
  1. Easier to develop new panels
  2. Anyone can contribute and make their own panels. Info panel is limited because only one person can add features to it since it's a single plugin. 
  3. Seperation on concerns. I don't have to dig through thousands of lines of code to find an issue. 
  4. For people who don't need all plugins you don't have wasted resources. 
  5. I find it easier to config each panel individually.
