Template Creator CK
★★★★
Only "Semi-Responsive" but still very good.

Template Creator CK
This is an excellent tool for rapid development of extensions albeit with a bit of a learning curve. My only real beef is that I consider the templates created to be only semi-responsive because they don't automatically resize images which I believe is a core requirement for a true responsive template.

Also, I have not found a way to hide selected module positions for smaller screen sizes which would make the templates much more suitable for mobiles.

Having said that, I have not found a better template creation tool to date.

Hi
thank you for your review.
I'm a bit surprised, are you sure that you have used the responsive layout manager ? because you can select to not show a module position on each 4 mobile resolutions, and the mobile css automatically resize the images as requested.
Next time, ask me :)

Simple and Effective

I've used a few extensions for inserting code, some of which were very good but this one is by far the simplest. It is a module only but you can also use it for inserting scripts into content using the standard Loadposition plugin so I can't think of anything else I would want it to do.
MetaMod

Knowledge is Power

MetaMod
I've used Metamod on three sites now for very different needs and each time I use it, I learn more and gain more power and control of the sites.

The latest site is a subscription site combining Docman, Akeeba Subscriptions and Metamod. With this combination I can present a different subscription module with Metamod to charge different subscriptions for different countries without subscribers knowing their is a difference and automatically restrict access to some documents (via subscription groups) for subscribers in countries where we don't have publishing rights.

Can't thank the publishers enough.
Tienda
Most Promising eCommerce Extension of 2010

Tienda
First thing to note is this - Tienda is a Beta release and as a result has a few niggling issues, the biggest for me being lack of documentation. Then again, the same could be said for many "production" extensions in this category that I have used.

Having said that, the free "Community" version already has a number of advanced features that for other longer established ecommerce extensions are either not available or are commercial addons. These include related products, stock control on unlimited attribute combinations and much more. In my experience the software is also very stable and development is active.

Yes, if you want support you have to pay and quite rightly. Having said that the forum is active and helpful and the code is well written and easy to follow.

This is an extremely feature rich product for a free extension and not suitable for someone who wants a shop in a box without some serious configuration. On the other hand if you are prepared to take the time to learn the product you can have a very powerful ecommerce site. 4 stars because it is still a beta release and by definition is not perfect (yet).

Exactly as Needed

This is what all Joomla extensions should be. Simple to use but with lots of well thought-out parameters.

So often an extension is almost right if it only had one more parameter to suit the specific need - this one has more than you need but you can pretty much ignore the ones you don't want. I had this up an running in minutes.
