No, it has a new scripting feature, which means that people will release scripts instead of plugins, they are very easy to install and are easily customisable :).

And since they're as simple as it can be, (JavaScript is very easy) I except we will get a lot more developers of plugins/scripts! :D
Maybe I can try making one... :)

Wrappers can still be created to make old plugins compatible because of the CallDll function.
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.

Technically its JScript, which aparently is slightly different :p

JavaScript is a cross-platform, interpreted, object-oriented language originally designed for client-side web scripting. The elements of web pages can be manipulated via JavaScript as objects specified by the Document Object Model (DOM). This enables dynamic effects like image roll-overs and interactive effects like pages that change in response to user input without being reloaded from the server.

JScript is Microsoft's implementation of the language that contains similarities but also differences.

that's not a bug, thats an unexpected feature

Not all old plugins will be wrappable. I for one will not be writing a wrapper for Phoenix: I'm going to write a whole new product called Phoenix Live ;)
