What a simplistic views (sorry to say so), but the plugins of Vue and Carrara are not dependend upon all these user hacks and such at all. I know for a fact that the Vue ones were created in coörperation wuth Curious Labs and later E-Frontier. So have the Carrara plugins.

You've giving the 'hackers' way to much credit and EF way to less credit.
