Reasons I (reluctantly) went back to OctoPrint

I really want to ditch OctoPrint for PrusaLink.  I installed PL on one of my printers (via raspPi), tried to get my usual things done, but couldn't.  I have to go back to OctoPrint. Here is why (in order of importance to me).

1. Cannot customize notifications. Specifically, I live in Discord.  I need more than just start/stop/pause and basic info from the printer. 
   1. I want to tune the frequency and type of notifications (such as every hour, or every 10% during a long print)
   2. I need screenshots - so I don't have to look it up in a browser or app when I get the alert
   3. I need to send it commands (pretty much just status, and screenshot)
   4. All of this can be done using DiscordRemote (plugin)
2. No camera streaming (locally, I'm not expecting this via PrusaConnect, but absolutely via PrusalLink)
3. No (well documented and designed) API / plugin model / community development 

#1 is a dealbreaker. No, THE dealbreaker.  #2 sucks but can live without if I must (or work-around it annoyingly with other streaming solutions, HomeAssistant, etc). #3 would alleviate Prusa from having to do all the nuanced little feature details, hint, hint.

That said, here are the things I REALLY love about PrusaLink and OctoPrint sucks at:

1. File Management is way nicer
2. List of files is way, way better, namely because it includes thumbnails in the file list (not just for the one item printing)
3. ETA (not just time remaining)

... and then of course if we add in the telem, history, and use of "teams" in PrusaConnect, that is a nice-to-have.

Please wake me up when PL has these things. In the meantime, don't take offense if you have a different opinion and are a PL fan.  I'm a Prusa fan, and own two Prusas.  I'm just sharing information in hopes it can be insightful, and I think PL has good potential.
