I strongly disagree. Being able to download something and immediately get something to work and see results is hugely rewarding; on the other hand, having to research, find, compare & contrast available third-party modules (especially for new-comers) can be extremely discouraging.
100% agreed. I think people massively underestimate how frustrating it can be to have to hunt out some piece of functionality that *doesn't* come with the base download. Or worse, to find 5 different implementations, and have no idea which one you "should" use. Paul
