There are many problems with the plugin ecosystem.

The big ones: * Many don't work with pipelines (scm sync config plugin for example). And you don't know this until you try * Upgrading a plugin can and often does have unintended, and hard to detect problems (only way to know is to run every job and find the failures) * It's hard to automate plugin installation
