Not true. Plugins need a backing framework that is almost always
slower then a native implementation. So a plugins are only useful if
it is used > 1 extension in that 'area'. Unused code is not expensive
compared to the code path you need for options or plugins.

Tabs don't work with modal dialog too, something we use in thunar for
accessibility reasons.
