The key question is whether the extensions captures the user to use a
particular set of tools or not.  If there is
 1) a standard framework for extensions 
 2) a fallback mechanism  
 3) the extensions use public APIs
 4) the APIs have open-source reference implementations available
 5) the implementations only use platform-neutral APIs (e.g. Java, ISO
C, SQL, DOM)
I cannot see any harm in extensions.
