Go check out this video http://dd32.id.au/2008/07/06/progress-video/ for an example (I suggest downloading the small video, not the flash...) More data is generally at the users fingertips for each plugin with a limited number of pageloads needed, The searching functionality is the same as on wordpress.org, except it also supports paging of search results, as well as better author searching. Also, You cant load it up and try it out yourself :( the API is not available to general users yet. Well, To an extent i believe it might be a simpler use from the users perspective.

I don't know what the interface to your new plugin browse/install is like (I should probably load it up and try), but I suspect it's going to be at least a little restrictive compared to browsing through the /extend/plugins page. I know there are significant security issues at play, but I wonder whether it wouldn't be possible to use cookies somehow to provide an "Install Plugin" link on the WordPress.org/extend/plugins pages if you're currently logged in with admin rights to your blog. That would be awesome. S. Since you seem to be in pretty close contact with the WordPress.org peeps I thought I’d make a suggestion here.
