The two "types" of plugins - the current simplePlugins and the proposed verySimplePlugins - really have 2 fundamentally different uses. The first is to be integrated into a larger project - the second is to function as a stand-along part. I do like the idea of verySimplePlugins - but my vote will always go for power. As far as having them both, I say great. But who will step up to the plate to keep essentially two branched versions of the same plugin up to date?

A lot of these packaged functionality plugins suffer from both being too complex and too simple. I love behavio(u)rs as well and have a couple lined up for release (just need the nod from the bosses!). The commentable behaviour is an excellent example of the sort of functionality I like - you can drop it on top of a model and it gives you a simple set of features, integrated well. But there is a place for more complete module plugins. Writing a forum is something I've done in the past and have no wish to repeat - I prefer someone else to handle the spammers for me. To get a forum closely integrated with a symfony site you really want it written for symfony - I integrated bbPress and it was okay but sfSimpleForum is more seamless.
