Quiz  Deluxe
I read a lot of reviews below and had my doubts whether it would be OK, but it was very very easy to set up and get going. The documentation is ready in the meantime and if you have a question, you get very fast and accurate help from Joomplace. Really excellent.
I do want to underline though that even without documentation, for my purposes the quiz was easy to set up and get started, lots of flexibility as well!

sh404SEF
After having struggled with JoomACE for 1.5 years I finally gave up and decided to try sh404SEF. I am not a developer, just make a small website for my small business, no programming skills and no idea about anything slighty more complicated than the obvious joomla settings.

I am totally and pleasantly surprised by:
1. the easy of use (I originally selected JoomACE because I had read it was easier to use ... this is absolutely not true!)
2. the easy of installing (removed Joomace and installed sh404SEF and in 3 minutes I had the right settings to have exactly the same urls as I used to have).
3. the excellent information everywhere on the settings and on the website.
4. the forum with all questions answered and clearly answered (for example in Safari I could not manage to change the custom 404 error page and one quick search on the forum teaches in other browsers it should work and indeed ... no problems!)

I did not yet try the extra things like having google analytics integrated or switch to mobile template (will try these in the near future).

I do thoroughly enjoy the inbuilt '404 request manager' which lists all urls that ended up on a 404 error page. With one click you can redirect these to an existing url (through a concept called 'similar url' which is in 95% of my cases correct, making it really extremely easy to get all links working again or redirected to a page of your choice).

After all the difficulty with ACESEF, I am extremely happy to know SEF can be easy as well.

By the way also menu localisation (a Joomfish extension making it possible to hide certain menu items in one language only) works excellent (with ACESEF it does not because ACESEF makes you disable the JFRouter plugin and apparently menu localisation works only with the plugin enabled).

In short: Excellent! Bravo for the developers and the support team.
EasyBlog
I was already very impressed with Easyblog, setting it up was very easy, there is lots of help with all the settings and the blog is working very well.
After a few weeks I had some questions about RSS which I could not get to work, I received replies immediately 3 times in a row. Also the support forum is excellent.
I am very impressed.

My ShortList
I installed the extension and had a small problem. Got very good support from the developer. Fast and friendly and to the point.
It is real easy and works very well. Make sure you set it to 'no cache', at least for me that helped!
I use it so site visitors can keep track of the articles they like best, without having to log in.

Excellent module, easy to install with clear pdf instructions. Quick help with questions.
I was looking for a way to have a custom menu at the bottom of the page, found this bottom bar and this is even better because it is always in sight.
If you have to languages or more it is not ideal (but there is a work-around) but apart from this it is excellent.

Social Widgets
Just installed this and all works very well. Nice and simple, yet with several options, all easy to understand.
I made the icons a bit smaller which was very easy. One suggestion would be to give the possibility also to centre, left or right align the icons. However this is also easy to do otherwise.
Thanks!

MB History
Is installed within 1 minute and works very well. It somehow recognises a user without the users having to be logged in.
Very simple. You can choose how many articles to keep and also for how long.

One small issue would be to display only the article title. Now it displays also section and category.

Really well done and thanks to the developers!

Phoca Gallery
Works very well. In case you have any problems, the documentation is clear and has helped me very well with a few things I did not immediately understand.
Well done!
Thanks for this free extension, I will donate and hope you can keep up this good work. Also hope others will do the same!

PrintLogo
Absolutely perfect.
Also received a very fast reply when I had a small problem, however, the problem is related to my template and not this Printlogo plugin.

JEvents
I started using Eventlist and this was fine, but there is no support and therefore also no development. Luckily I found out in time and have changed to JEvents which has many more possibilities and incredibly fast forum help.
The site has also a lot of documentation (especially for members, which is paid for but it is absolutely worth every 'penny').
