Firstly, yes, at some point I would like to have kit editing/creation available from the GUI. This is non-trivial however, and a bit down the road.
To your second point, I agree that it's non-optimal to have to fire up hydrogen to make minor changes to kits and the like. However, I still think DrMr improves the situation, as it sits nicely in your host, saves all your parameters, and doesn't require any external routing. Of course if you're fine with setting up all the external routing and kit loading etc, you should just avoid DrMr all together, hydrogen is more fully featured and almost certainly more stable anyway, but the whole point of me writing DrMr was that I got sick of having to set up both my host and hydrogen for every track i wanted to open.
But yes, kit customization is in the pipeline, although behind getting the core solid and stable.
Why not improve the drumkit editing abilities of hydrogen? Or create a dedicated drumkit editor on top of hydrogen's codebase (imho, hydrogen is not really user-friendly enough when it comes to kit-creation...) ?
