All components should be this good

joomlaXplorer
I recently installed this on a client's Joomla! 1.5 site after running into a bug in the media manager (the 1.5 version of this com is just named eXplorer) and I have to say I'm impressed. Most commercial products aren't this good. I no longer need an FTP application - at all. This gives me access to everything.

Not recommended for client admins who are too nosy or inexperienced.

Decent

The product itself is decent, especially the full calendar view, and at face value it's worth the $20 for the sub.

However, if you run into trouble you are required to pay for support - or hope that someone on the forums can and is willing to help out. This might be a relatively small issue, but there is almost no documentation (the link provided by the developer in these comments returns a 404 error [http://dev.anything-digital.com/JCal-Client/Documentation.html]) and if you're not using it "out of the box" you can spend a *lot* of extra time trying to work it out.

Make sure you read all of the reviews and pay a visit to the forums at AnythingDigital before you commit to this product. When you're billing a client hourly for custom layout, the cost in time can quickly outweigh the benefits of a low initial subscription fee.

I have updated the links for documentation, I appreciate the heads up.

As for support, you get what you pay for, and $20 doesn't go very far given the average fee for programmers is USD $75/hour.
