Preach! (I shortened my comment to make it more pithy, had a lot of those same thoughts, and appreciate how you fleshed them out!)
5. I write my own blender plugins quite often, and they break with my next `git pull`. Blender moves fast and breaks things ;)
I do python professionally and gamedev 3D/VR stuff as a side piece. I spent 5 hours in blender tonight trying to bake an alpha channel. Something I’ve done before.
It’s a nightmare to maintain a blender plugin. Because (as you point out) blender is opensource clay, not a surgical scalpel. OpenSCAD is a precision knife.
