Not zero people, people who need better performance than what AS can provide.

Also I think you're missing the bigger picture there.

The thing about plugin system is that the only change necessary to the jj2's .exe, to make making further JJ2 versions more efficiently, would be make plugin loader and make hooks to all important parts of JJ2's engine, such as cheats and so on.

Then actual JJ2+ would be built as "plugin" that would take over JJ2. Meaning you would be able to write game's code in convenient C++ instead of using disassembler.

And you could also make it modular. Graphics enhancer? Plugin that takes over rendering. Additional, custom enemy AI routines? Plugin. AngelScript interpreter? Another plugin.
