Ouch! At the end of the first line of the above comment I inserted an emoji - when I posted, it deleted the entire rest of my comment! Then I edited and retyped the whole thing, but apparently the 5 minute edit limit kicked in and so it AGAIN deleted my whole comment. :(

TAKE 3:

But... with a plugin like WP Inject, Akismet, or lots of others, you receive a service, and if you don't want it anymore, you simply deactivate, no big deal. But with ACP, you're dependent on it to make those shortcodes display. If it falls off the update cycle or has a vulnerability or a conflict with another plugin you need - you're out of luck.

With this sort of "dependency" plugin, to use it is to be stuck with it for the life of your website. Vs making a .jpg palette which wouldn't have the fun animation, but which would give you pages that would never break. Some of the Gmaps plugins are similar. They may have features over a pure Gmap embed, but it's a dependency on that plugin forever. With maps, it's easy for me, I'll take the plain Gmap embed. But APC is very cool...
