Perhaps, but it really wouldn't save much memory vs. just disabling the 'Load virtual terminal support' general preference. libvte is loaded dynamically. You can also disable it at compile-time.
The reason we haven't made it a plugin is that the vte is fairly closely integrated into Geany, and that the plugin interface would need extending (some more callbacks, and keybinding support). Not that those things shouldn't be in the plugin interface, just that they haven't been implemented yet.
Ok, so in the future VTE would be able to export to an plugin ... all in good time I guess ...
