Community Plugin SDK Experiences

I guess it depends what kind of automation you're talking about. What are you thinking? I'd really like to know what's being considered.

I use the SDK almost every day, and while it's a little cumbersome, it gets the job done. I am frustrated that it's based on 5+ year old Node.js code, and concerned for its security because of that. 

However, we do a lot of customizations, fixes, custom components, etc., and I would absolutely hate having to do the updates in my IDE, then copy and paste into the Studio texteareas. So it's far, far better than that. 

I'm also curious to know what your timeline is on whatever changes you're making, as well as what will be in place for custom components, etc., once Aurora gets here. 

Thanks!
