RSEvents!
I would like to echo several of the reviews here and say that the support for RSEVents is superb.

I submitted a minor bug report at 10pm and received a polite note that the component was fixed and updated in the morning.

The only reason I'm not giving a 5 star review, is that the component is a bit confusing to learn. Its not quite as polished as RSForms, their marquee product.

Part of the reason it is hard to learn is simply that there are too many options... fine grain control over an app, always comes at the expense of simplicity.

Nonetheless, I would strongly recommend this product. The support alone is worth the asking price.

jNews
I have used acajoom and jnews on many sites, with great success. Recently a client want to send to a 6000 subscriber list and I once again turned to jnews, buying the full pro version with bounceback control. Unfortunately do to server constraints the newsletter failed to send properly. Though it was no fault of their own, the joobi team refunded the full price of the component. Thanks Joobi, I will use the product again.
Locator
Having looked at most all the mapping components on the JED and used a number of them, I've found the locator component to be among the best.

The particular strength of the locator component is the way you can have one location, and then tag it with different attributes.

Being able to then display all the locations that have "hockey sticks" or "soccer balls", turns out to be very useful. None of the other components do this, or do this as well.

I used this component on a client site who needed to show sales reps in different states. One rep was responsible for "Utilities" and "Commerical". Another was responsible for "Municipal". Having the tagging ability kept the database of reps understandable and allowed me to easily generate tag based maps.

When I first started using this component in early 2010, it was a bit buggy. I'm please to write in this review, that all of those bugs have been addressed. This is now a solid component, which I'd recommend to anyone. Well worth the price.

Plugin Include Component
I used this plugin to make a contact listing page, derived from the regular com_contacts, which showed all the contacts on a page, grouped by category! It worked perfectly, as expected and took me less than a minute setup. Excellent work, thanks!

Simple Content Versioning
I downloaded this extension and attempted to install it but ran into a few bugs. So I emailed the developer and he fixed them right away. Now its running on my site, and I plan on using it on all my sites. Versioning is a much needed addition (and free!) to the JED. Small simple, perfect. Thanks.
