JoomlaFCK Editor (Security Release)
This editor is powerful and intuitive (for most users of "A Well Known Word Processor From A Certain Evil Empire, Which Shall Not Be Named") but what was most impressive was how quickly the dev team responded to a nasty little surprise thrown them by Firefox's latest version. New patch released, no FTP'ing required, just install and keep on truckin'. You gotta love that.

I've had it up and running for a month now and it does everything it promises. Like any user, I have a wish list of features I'd like to see implemented, but Rick and Konstantin have created a great product that I imagine will just improve. Well done!

Seyret Video
This may very well work with 1.0 -- but to advertise this as "1.5 Legacy" is inaccurate at best.

My 1.5 installation required two days of "banging on the pipes" just to get it to stay on a page and not vanish its own Search box off the right edge of the monitor. It still won't talk with Jom Comment, Kunena (it claims to support Fireboard) nor allow my users to vote on videos.

Some of its plugins -- available at JoomlaToys -- throw terrifying PHP errors in 1.5. Enable one at a time, then fully test your site. The only one I can get to play nice is the MOD that integrates with Search. (Which, by the way, IS an awesome feature.)

The interface is simply not up to Joomla standards. For instance, wait until you import a few hundred videos into the system only to discover there not only is no way to "Select All -> Publish" but that if you try to "Select Unpublished" the screen will reset to Page One with all videos selected EACH time you publish a video. That's not just "not user-friendly", it is downright user-hostile.

If you go this route with 1.5, fair warning; you may, like me, reach the conclusion that "Seyret" is Turkish for "sadness."

SEO-Generator
Does exactly what it says it will do, flexible set-up, and great support. I think it was about 10 minutes from download to "all my articles are meta-tagged", and I'm a Joomlan00b. One of those "secret weapons" you almost hate to tell the world about for fear the competition will get it.
