Description
When there are no plug-ins installed, the Plug-ins menu in the main menu is empty (showing no menu UI at all). There should at least be a single (disabled) menu item that says something like “No Plug-ins”
Version: Version 0.7.2 (1008)
Seems like this could easily be fixed at https://github.com/MacDownApp/macdown/blob/1af8db3d1345094e43bcc66741e1cdd667b4020d/MacDown/Code/Application/MPPlugInController.m#L34-L45 by checking if `buildPlugIns` is empty.

Research direction
Start in MacDown/Code/Application/MPPlugInController.m around lines 34–45, especially the buildPlugIns result, and reproduce the empty Plug-ins menu with no installed plug-ins. Done means the menu remains visible and contains a disabled item such as “No Plug-ins” when the plug-in list is empty.
