Isn't that a step down from teaching people VBA macros?
I hope it isn't for a CS class. They should be learning principles rather than creating toy plug-ins which is something anyone can do for a hobby if they wanted.

But I would agree that if someone uses something else like vim or emacs as their primary editor, they should have the option of writing a plugin for their editor of choice. (As long as they accept that the rest of the class will be taught how to write Atom/VS Code extensions and they'll have to do most of the learning on their own.)
