Do You Have a Plugin You Can't Live Without?

I have many plugins installed on my Movable Type installation and I often wonder which are the ones I could do without. They all seem to have their place, and so they're all still installed.

I posed a question not so long ago... How many plugins are too many? On another install I have 49 plugins. Some of these are quite old, like Acronym, Amputator and Gallery-Link. They go back to version 3.2 but then, so do the templates in some older blogs that I haven't got around to updating, and the plugins still seem to be working. TypeMover is a plugin that I used to think I couldn't live without, until it just wouldn't work on the new MT installs, and so I had to say goodbye to it.

I think Action Streams would come in first in a poll. It's a plugin that is now seen on many MT blogs, and there are nearly a dozen additional plugins that use the Action Streams function.

One of my all-time favourites is Better File Uploader and it's been the first I add to any new upgrades.

The rest of the long list of plugins I have installed I probably could live without. What about you? Do you have a favourite plugin that would be a must-have?

Do you have a favourite plugin?
