Please support plugin, so that we can add our own feature.

I am sure users are going to request a plethora of features of the new terminal (I know I will 😉). Would it be beneficial for you (Microsoft) to add resource-demanding features as separate extensions and possibly provide (and even recommend using vscode-like popups) groups of extensions on top of an otherwise barebones and speedy experience?
Personally, I live and breathe inside vscode and love the way extensions can be searched/browsed/recommended and also how easily they can be enabled/disabled.
I am thinking about general controls, http link colorization/clickability (such in the reveal video), arrangable tmux-like panes support, CPU/mem stats bar, text loggers/exporters and other extensions which may possibly slow down the overall experience of the terminal.
Maybe for some commands you are about to run, you might actually want disable all (or a selection) of extensions prior to executing, just to make the terminal speedier.
I understand that some features are more easily/more efficiently integrated into the core terminal and that it might take years to achieve this... but it would be so lovely to have this develop into a modular eco system of extensions, like with vscode.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to complain. I just had to type this down as I got really excited when I sas the wt install link-preview command being typed in the reveal video. This new terminal project looks absolutely awesome and I can't wait until I can get my hands on it in any shape or form ❤️
Thanks for your thoughts here Fredrik Averpil (@fredrikaverpil). We're keen to add extensibility to the Terminal, but we have a bunch of features we need to solidify before we can turn our attention to such features.
One of the things I am currently working on is planning our roadmap which I'd like to share with the community within the next couple of weeks. This roadmap will give you some visibility into when key features are likely to land, how we're aiming to ship v1.0, and where we're going afterwards.
Please bear with us while we figure-out some of the details.

Check the MSFT short video presentation of the terminal. There was mention about supporting plugins....

Yep! It's on our to-do list. That's about all the info we have to share on the topic for now, but this is officially the thread to follow for updates.
We will post here when there's something to say

I like how speedy the Ubuntu terminal is.

Hey like 2 years ago I moved this to #4000 and never closed out the original thread. Oops.
