Amazing!

jQuery Easy
I have never found such a simple and elegant solution to such a complicated problem before. I was tearing my hair out trying to get a component not to break a responsive template and JQuery Easy fixed it in 5 minutes.

Triple excellent!!!

Thank you, I am trying my best to make the plugin as useful as possible and help as many issues as it is possible to do without manual intervention. You have no idea how many problems arise with the exponential use of jQuery in extensions...

Too many bugs

ARTIO JoomDOC
I really wanted to like this extension. It's the only free document management component that fully integrates with the Joomla ACL that I could find. It looks pretty good too, but it's just too quirky and obscure for users. The concept of adding a document to a file for metadata and permissions is seriously confusing. The work "document" means different things depending on where you are too.

And it's buggy. Creating a document on a file in the front end adds a record to the database, but it doesn't show up after saving. It knows there is one there because if you try to add another one it fails, but you can't see it in the back end either so it has to be deleted from the database. Every time you perform an operation on a file, it returns to the root folder instead of staying on the page you are working on. It took me ages to work out that you need "Access Administration Interface" permissions to edit metadata on the front end.

Back to the drawing board.

The best!

Fabrik
I spent about 3 months trying to get other Joomla development tools to do the job I needed, to create a gig engine for a fan site. None of them came close, so then I decided to start from scratch and write a component. I found fabrik by accident and gave it a go. To cut a long story short, this is one of the best development tools for any environment I have ever used - it did the job I needed, my site looks great and the back end admin is amazing. It is incredibly powerful "out of the box", but with all of the extensions available, and the ease with which it can be customised, it beats all of the others by a mile. I use fabrik in conjunction with CB, Kunena and Community ACL and have a site that my users are delighted with.

Just one complaint - why is it hidden in Contacts & Feedback -> Forms? There must be loads of people looking for a component like this that never find it.
