Weever Apps
We use Weevers Apps on our Montréal JUG site and I love it. It does a very good job of transforming our site in an iphone app (or Android, blackberry...)

Everything on our site is is not available trough the app, but the important things are there. Especially the info for our next meeting: date, hour, address and link to the google map!

I recommend it. It's very easy to setup in a couple of minutes. No app coding skills required!

Editor Switcher
That's a very useful plugin. I thought about coding one myself that does exacly that.

The only problem is there's absolutely no documentation. It took me some time to figure that I need to set my default editor to "Editor switcher". I though a button would appear on the bottom of the editor.
Tienda
Tienda is not finished yet and not ready for production use yet but it's very promising. I tested both VirtueMart and Tienda for a project I'm working on and I will wait for Tienda to be ready. There's a lot of great features, it's easier to manage your inventory than in VirtueMart and it's coded using MVC method so it will work with Joomla 1.6. Unfortunately VirtueMart is abandoned and will not work in Joomla 1.6. So Tienda is the future. Not only because it's the only real alternative, but because it's very well made!

yvComment
The component is good but I don't like that I need to install a plugin for emoticon, then another one for captcha, then another one for avatar, and have to configure them all. Yuri wrote a lot of documentation to help setting all that. But I don't think I should need to read that much instructions to install a simple comment extension. It would be nice if everything was integrated in one extension.
Owner's reply

Thank you for going through all these installation steps. Of course I agree that single install package for all needed features is more convenient than “integration” of several selected extensions. The problem is that different people need different “single install packages”. Even for “commenting” that seems so simple and that in fact is not simple at all. – This is why yvComment documentation (including history of changes) is so long.
Let me ask you if you want _one_ Captcha for your site (for Comments, for Login form, for some Contact form…) of you prefer different Captchas for different tasks? Or maybe you like to have one set of Smileys for comments and another – for News? … This is exactly why such extensions like Captcha and Smiley are not built into yvComment package: they are for the whole Joomla! site a not for Comments only.
