Ok, that's strange. How's that work?
That's the point of the IM project, to give the developer a certain "code base" (just like a CMS does), so he doesn't have to implement the same function over and over again.
For example, why should the developer write one and the same function for each plugin that is used to store data? – So if you have 10 standalone plugins that store your data, you also have 10 different methods that do this, this will lead to more attack vectors etc, is that really efficient?
According to your statement this could be applied to the plugin concept in the same way: You want the plugins to work standalone, and the developer to build a CMS around them every time he wants to develop one?
FYI:
Excluding third-party libraries like Font Awesome, jQuery, jQuery UI and so on, ItemManager is not even 1 MB, which I think is a reasonable size. When used properly, Item Manager is carefully tuned to memory usage, since many methods are loaded at runtime. So Im pretty sure that 10 plugins based on ItemManager will be more efficient than your 5 standalone plugins.
But I don't want to force it, after all, everyone should be free and use whatever he/she wants ... ;-)
