Must have Admin side plugins

Many new Textpattern users install plugins to add needed functionality to their Admin. As time progresses and more sites are launched, you usually end up with the must haves, and forego the I can do withouts.

Measuring popularity via the resources site or this forum may not give an accurate picture, as I’ve outlined above. A plugin may have been downloaded X amount of times, and received it’s share of support requests, but today it may not get much usage after a new Textpattern release caused many to rethink their workflow.

This post is my asking you, current Textpattern users, what are your must have Admin side plugins?

Thanks.

Re: Must have Admin side plugins

gomedia, you appear to be a real fan of adi’s plugins ;)

36 plugins on the must-have list – adi (11), rah (9), smd (5)

Anyone given thought to a Textpattern demo with the most popular plugins installed?

Yeah, done that quite a number of times, confused about how to save what I just edited.

Thanks for clarifying.
