I agree with you there. I hope to see all kinds of addons that keep the clean immersive UI intact.

Ya more of a goal then dream, but I understand what you mean and agree to some extent. On "an edge to teams who use addons to coordinate." I have not seen anything in the API to allow Inter-player addon communications yet. Is it possible to do that?

Yup - I agree. It is kind of a catch all limiter that gets most of my ideas to push the boundaries. I wish they allowed this, but limited in other ways.
