Maybe it could be fun if we in collaboration could make an alternative Script Editing workspace(we can agree on?) with all the best add-ons installed(that we can agree on?), so new users could just use this workspace and it’s installed add-ons for a turn-key and quick-start Blender IDE? How should the workspace look? And what would the essential add-ons be?
I’ve made a Script Editing workspace template like the one I mentioned above as a POC:
