However, that’s pretty much the other extreme. It doesn’t support Web Extensions or even Add-on SDK extensions.

No. However, I am the developer of "Download Cleaner", which is made using Add-on SDK. I think it's a great solution to get started without learning XUL.

I'm sure they had their reasons for deciding what they did. I still think it's a bad decision.
