Setting aside all of the political/philosophical objections to this decisions. from a practical perspective, I would be completely fine with this decision if they changed one thing:

Make it dead simple for me to go to the 'developer dashboard' in crome web store and let me create a new extension by just uploading a whatever.user.js file. Don't make me package it up, don't make me know what a crx file is. Let me just hack together so JS to scratch my itch, and throw it up somewhere.



You would still need a manifest for security. But yeah, having a combined .JS format instead of a zipped folder would be nice.
