I prefer to keep interfaces as simple as possible. It generally helps to make better UI. I still prefer to keep this functionality as extension because:
- it slows down page loading because there is more data (and TS modules are not exactly fast now)
- not everyone needs this feature, especially for small changes in TS

Each of the TS modules are extensions and they can be installed individually. Even t3editor is an extension. This is a wise decision, it allows lots of flexibility. I saw people who never us TS constant editor or TS object analyzer or t3editor and uninstall them. So I am for keeping TS editing as simple as possible but extendable. Having Steffen's extension in TER is a good thing because it follows flexibility, simplicity and "install on demand" approaches.

Another thing is that such extension should probably advertised. Probably we should have "extension of the month" or even "extension of the week" column on typo3.org, where we could advertise extensions like Steffen's.

What do you think?
