iCagenda
It's truly hard for a novice user to find a calendar/agenda app for J!2.5 that works well and plays nicely with my other mods/components/plugins, especially for free. Not only was my initial experience setting up iCagenda very fast and easy, thanks both to the tutorial video and the helpful hints on the author's website, but when I had a question about functionality, I posted on said website and had a response within 24 hours (even with the timezone difference). And this is for a free extension.

The calendar was easy to set up for recurring events, easy to make small design modifications through the backend, and has never thrown a conflict. My site members appreciate the clean look and the quick loading.

I am looking forward to future enhancements, such as multiple instances of the module, a way to see different events for different groups on the same day without drilling down into the date (although it's nice to click on the date and have a list of events pop up very quickly), and more customizing abilities in the admin area.

I've donated to the author and am looking forward to future releases.

In 2013, i'm planning a lot of new features and options, and i will add them regularly.
And i always keep in a list, ideas from users ;-)

Thank you for your support in this project !

JJ Shoutbox Lite
Finding a shoutbox module to integrate with Joomla! 2.5x was like finding a needle in a haystack. Finding one that had an easily customizable user interface with clean code was even more rare. Finding one with amazing customer support - well, I only found one. I was trepidacious because I had no idea what to expect from a company called JoomJunk, but I registered and downloaded. There were no sneaky backlinks, no spam mail, no hidden fees or subs for extra features. When I had issues with a template conflict, I posted on the JJ forums and received a HELPFUL response within a couple hours. The support is still ongoing and I have every confidence it will continue. Best customer-developer relationship I have experienced with my Joomla! site to date. Thanks, guys!
