If there's no difference in performance AND in access to all the core functions that a tool might need, then I would not object, of course. But then, I would wonder why we are calling this a "plugin" :) Maybe just "standardizing and simplifying the tools API" would be a better description in that case.
Is there an argument for porting the whole UI to a high-level language? Since we're going to have a Javascript/DOM binding anyway, perhaps we should go the Mozilla route and implement the UI with it. My personal preference would be for Python though. Mozilla are doing that too, actually.
Regardless of preference, it would be invaluable when coming to writing animation UI, filter UI and so on. Also I can imagine the technical drawing versus graphic design split would be best met by a UI which can be refactored, extended or even forked without touching native code.
