They kind of made several plugins "blessed": Pipeline, Blue Ocean, Git, etc.

The core package plus these "blessed" plugins is a lot more stable than throwing every random plugin on top of a base installation. Just write a bit of glue script code and you're golden.

They still have their own issues. Blue Ocean requires a lot of stuff I have no need for (like github support) which in some cases conflict with stuff I do need (like bitbucket support)

Same. Every time there's a Blue Ocean update it requires you to update two dozens other plugins, many of which I don't use and can't get rid of (like the github one). And more annoying is the fact that you can't "select all" to update all plugins, you have to select them one by one.

There’s a select all link at the bottom of the plugin updates page...

well glad to see people using blue ocean, but yeah - that isn't a good look (and one of the aims mentioned is to get away from this pain, for good).

(also evergreen should take care of the updating, ideally). I will be happy when it does as don't want to spend any more time thinking about this!
