Yes true, but also it's about reviewing and qualifying the community before you decide on it.
As I've seen in other comments, the community seems to be a lot of plugin developers wanting to make money with their plugins. And the quality of the code seems to be patches on patches and have become quite a mess and not nice / easy to work with. Well it's PHP for starters so that's already not a great start in my opinion. That is why I moved away years ago from my first language PHP, to a in my view more mature and more professional community like Python and Django. And I really don't think stuff like this would happen there. Because people are more about working together and making something really nice instead of making money with plugins.
