The really core plasmoids, as in those in kdebase, include several technically
tricky ones (the worst being the system tray) and some quite complex things
like kicker. I think that with the dependency issues and the overhead, the
gains of script plasmoids are probably not worth it for these.
However, kdeplasma-addons is probably a very good place to introduce more
scripted plasmoids. If I was proficient in a scripted language, I'd make
nowplaying into just such an example.
