I was using at the beginning a 3rd party plugin for auto cron backup, the author had made so much work to add flashy things, such as live progress of the backup, selective backup tables, email backups etc etc, but he had no idea how the hell to schedule a wp event. He forgot to implement the most important thing to be able to schedule the freakin time, and during uninstall the custom event hook stayed behind. The very basics are what make the plugin good with good prospectives for the future. So the DBC Backup plugin was born, in a few days i will release it, it's ready but i want my first public plug for wp to be absolutely perfect in what it offers.

I also think that a lot of these plugins could use some good re-workings. But I think this primarily stems from the fact that a lot of plug-in developers are people who might not have done a course in coding for the web. Rather who self taught themselves, although this is great and an amazing thing; the fact is that a course or teacher/Professor will always show you the tricks and tips that make you an awesome programmer. One that writes not only safe but light weight codes. This was a great article. I also think that a lot of these plugins could use some good re-workings.
