There are so many plugins we all use to provide proper integration with many other systems. For me the Trakt.tv integration is a musthave for every media server / player. It is my complete history of shows, episodes and movies that i have watched. And because I change what i watch a lot, this is my lifeline!
Removing Plugins is a bad move on your part, a part of your strength was that Plex could be used on all platforms and could be used with even more if you just used a simple plugin. If the current structure of the plugins doesn’t work, UPGRADE it… Deleting my my must need functions could be something that drives me from Plex to another system. Even though the learning curve for all my users will be steep…
