[Wolfram Function Repository](https://resources.wolframcloud.com/FunctionRepository/) is indeed a treasury with many valuable functions. And I personally enjoy trying out all the new ones every Friday night after receiving its newsletter.

Although we can easily load the functionality via `ResourceFunction`, lack of local help page sometimes can be annoying.

As such, I do feel some `ResourceFunctions` should be integrated into Mathematica.  
Just to give an example, [`PlotGrid`](https://resources.wolframcloud.com/FunctionRepository/resources/PlotGrid) by Lucas Lang has indeed added the long-missing piece to the plotting jigsaw (just to add on this: even though support for `PlotLayout` has been added in V12 to several Plotting functions, eg. `ListPlot`, it is less useful than I would expect for such a seemingly promising name).

I agree. And PlotGrid is a very good example.
