BreezingForms
I have used virtually every other form building tool out there over the past 5-6 years of building Joomla sites. When I found Breezing Forms and seen the enhancements that had been made over the old extension it was forked from, I was quite eager to try it out.
This component does have a learning curve. But the more you use it and learn it, the more you will LOVE it's powerful features. I did a form comparison presentation at our local user group and this tool has the absolute best balance between ease of use for the newbies out there, but yet has some really extendible options for the die hard coder. There's a ton of templates that come with it too so you don't need to spend a ton of time editing CSS files to get a nice looking form.

I had a client just yesterday that wanted me to use RS Forms and they had a pretty complicated form with specific requirements on how it should look and be designed. After 1 hour of jacking with RS Forms Pro and not getting it to do everything we needed it to do, I installed Breezing Forms and went to town. In no time I had the client happy, satisfied, and he now has a better product for his form needs. I build a lot of sites. And I can tell you that this IS the best out there right now that is available for Joomla!

Admin Tools
I've been using Akeeba Backup for a while and when the new Admin Tools component was release I immediately went to check it out.
I was very pleasantly surprised at the great tools available. There are a lot of great tools for experienced webmasters and novice users.
One word of caution though, there are some tools in the component that general site owners need to be aware of that can get their site inoperable if you don't know what you're doing, specifically, the htaccess maker.

But for experienced site builders and maintainers, this one's the cats meow. Great job Nickolas!!!

JomSocial
I bought this extension as soon as it was released. I think that this extension is a true social networking software that actually promotes your site visitors and users to interact with each other. This component is a lot like Facebook and if you are looking to add Facebook style functionality and features to your Joomla website then this is the software to get.
I love the API for adding applications to this software. It allows the component to be expanded in a limitless amount of ways. I think that once this component matures it will be the one to use on all social networking sites.
I also like the front end interface and the component looks great on most any website without much tweaking.
I also really like the way that you can implement your own templates for the component or easily tweak the CSS of the existing ones to better meet the needs of your own website.

Thanks Azrul for a wonderful app that has now filled a void that Joomla has had for a long time.

Blogg-X
This is a very useful too for administrators of multiple sites. If you manage sites that you frequently need to post updates to and do not need to add images then this is fast and easy to use. I was skeptical of a GPL tool like this but it does seem to do the job well so far. I think I'll be using this tool for a long time to come.

Thanks for this neat little tool.
