Per Paint & Stick: I admire After Effects' extendibility, and the After Effects team's desire to not compete with it's developing community.
However, I believe there are a couple things here that I think are important to be native, in the best interest of Adobe and its users:
Photoshop tool preset compatibility would reveal the incredibly powerful features and intellectual property (ie Kyle Brushes) available in Photoshop.
A proper frame animation property type would best represent this workflow (and potentially others). There is currently not a good native way to have image data as a property, and building this would involve fixing that in a way that makes sense for images.
These and some other things just can't be done with a plugin, in my understanding of the SDK. I would also argue that on their own, they deserve to be core functionalities of an animation program with the comprehensiveness of AE. Specifically I personally believe this core functionality of a Cel workflow should be available in AE, which can then be built on and improved by third parties like aescripts. Give us the functionality, and we'll add features to it.
All that said, if you need something *similar* to this workflow now, definitely go buy paint & stick. This is a powerful workflow and the guys at aescripts deserve more credit than I alone can give them for actually building something close.

The idea here is great but not sure what your suggestion for the replacement "small square" looks like. Do you have a mockup or more description of that?
