Yes, it is just the pde tooling which makes extension development easier.
Maybe, there could be an aop.xml editor as well...

Though, declaring concrete aspects through plugin.xml might not be 
possible, since it would require the platform to be running already...
The weaving service would have to parse all the plugin.xml files itself...
