In an open source CAD program, do you see the plugin system getting much use? If so, what for?
I'm thinking about when it makes sense to contribute to the core code, write a plugin or write a script.

One could offer custom functionality through the plugin system. The core program can offer some API the plugins can use to manipulate the data in the program. Plugins can allow loading or saving custom file formats. Also the core can expose a scripting environment for use with 3rd party scripts.
