Could you please update us all on which decision the Edge development team has taken with regards to all the feedback about the implementation of the Extensions menu?
Whether they take the feedback into account (many here hope they do), or whether they have decided to leave things are they are (many hope not), either way please inform us about the decision, so that we can move on?
Leaving us in limbo about this (important to many) topic is the least desirable state of things.
Thanks for considering this.

They keep saying they are looking at feedback but they have not been transparent about it. I bet my dollar they got more people complaining about this feature than people liking it. Folks at the Google Chrome community disliked the extension button as much as us but since Google actually has close to 70% market share - they can actually ignore the complaints. Ole MS doesn't have the marketshare and mindshare to pull this off.
It's pretty simple on how to satisfy both parties of this debate: They can make a flag to disable this button so that extensions can still be in the overflow menu. Those that don't care or actually like the button can be left alone then.
Hopefully, they come to their senses and give us an update about this because I'd rather not use the command line solution if they implement this in the stable and beta channels - I'd just go use Firefox 100% of the time.
