Completely agree, and usually the answer I get is - well plugin developers should just move their stuff OutOfProcess, and deal with it. I went to GDC and talked to JetBrains about ReSharper C/C++ - which is a phenomenal product, yet limited by what else lives with it in the process space. So since last week I had to kill (uninstall/disable) anything else but it, because I depend on it. I briefly had to re-enable th Qt plugin, the P4 one, but had to disable a lot of Microsoft's (whatever I can), Intel's, and had to leave Sony's SN-DBS otherwise compile times are slow as hell... So it's manageable, and there was way to have different environments setup (haven't looked deeply into it)... but really moving to 64-bit would solve a lot of it... even if it would take more memory... (bigger pointers, that's usually the stupid excuse)
