I understand you're angry. There's a lot of things in Aftereffects that i'm angry about as well. I don't support time investment in the numbers effect because it's old tech. I'd rather have a numbers preset built into the new type engine which is infinitely more powerful. Again f you're interested in solving you're problem i'd be interested to hear what it is. If you just want to vent that's cool too.Â
It sounds like you’re saying that you’re fine with AE’s built-in effects rusting in the yard like washing machines and old cars, because that provides 3rd party developers with a market to exploit. Pardon me, but I find that a little problematic for commercial software, that it’s developers are short-selling it. If it was Blender or GIMP or whatever that might be a different thing.

You know we have a solution for this as well ;-)Â

This is my biased opiniopn of course, but what's important to you is not important to other AE users so the fact that AE has this 3rd party expandability is what makes it great and has kept it relevant after all these years ;-)
And PS you don’t get monospaced with leading zeros that way :-)

No need for precomps. Add text layer, add expression to source text property, and choose timeToFrames from preset arrow drop down.
Done.
You can use any font in AE now and size.

Complaint and FR - The Numbers effect type size is limited to 128pt. I’m putting the request here, since I was bounced from the AE beta list a years ago.
With today’s frame sizes that’s often absurd SMALL, and one has to jump through precomp hoops to scale it big enough to be useful; current project 400%. How about 999 points maximum? That might keep us for a few years.
