It's already good enough, why can't they just add it to scratch already, it would be so useful

This would be really nice. I don't like having to create my own makeshift text engine every time I want my project to display text.

Though, I feel like there should be a way to create and delete texts and stuff like that. In the current extension, the text replaces the whole sprite, so you can't use the sprite and you need multiple sprites for multiple texts. I feel like it should be like this:
create text named [text1]::extension

delete text named [text1]::extension

set text of [text1] to [text]::extension

move text [text1] to x: (0) y: (0)::extension
etc
Edit: Also I feel like the way to move text right now is weird

This seems like a cool idea. It's still better than nothing to have it replace the sprite because you can still use clones, but this would be quite useful.
