I strongly believe that the best approach (and one which IDEA seems to follow) is that you should not clutter up your tools with occasionally useful features. (For God's sake, that is why we are not using Microsoft tools)
Instead, provide a highly functional API that allows a community to develop plug-ins to meet these more specific needs. A user can then install the plug-ins he needs, or write a specific one to suite his task.
