Hello- I'm new to FreeCAD and am very excited about the potential. Thanks for all of your great work! I work a lot with QGIS and felt that FreeCAD may be interested in the plugin manager as a reference.
I like are the search function especially with as many plugins as they have and hopefully FreeCAD will need that too as it gets more workbenches.
I also like the ability to disable plugins temporarily. This is useful for troubleshooting and plugins that you don't use very often.
Here is a screenshot:

Thanks for your feedback. You are certainly correct that the QGIS plugin manager is of interest. We've had our eye on it and it's fantastic development. The functionality you point to is definitely needed sooner than later. The FreeCAD motto is "It's done when it's done". Thanks for sharing.

• Need to have a tag that indicates to the user there are workbenches that not fully python3 compliant (most of microelly2's workbenches, for instance)

Here is the PR in progress: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/2605
I haven't tested it on the latest build, I'm using the AppImage which is r18403

Can someone test this? It's as simple as copying the file in to your ~/FreeCAD/Mod/AddonManager/ directory

Here is what it proposed new look would be for:
