What Umbraco plug-ins from the marketplace does everyone consider a "must have" and why?
d
Definitely uSync. Before I discovered uSync, my company was manually repeating all Umbraco changes on our production sites upon release, which is both timeconsuming and error sensitive. With uSync, we repeat all Umbraco changes with a single button press
Also some sort of redirect manager. I'm explicitly vague here, because there are several out there: skybrud redirects is currently most popular, but I'm the current maintainer of the URL Tracker, which after my major rework should turn out extremely awesome and way more editor friendly. I think SEO Toolkit also provides redirects, but I'm not 100% sure. As for why: all editors want it, always. Be it to maintain their seo score or to create more readable URLs for campaigns or advertisement.

uSync if you are not on Cloud and Contentment

Contentment is currently the only one I install by default. I just know I'll be reaching for the DataList property editor within a day or so :) It lets you pick practically anything from anywhere with a very editor-(and developer-)friendly experience.

GodMode (backoffice access to debug info), The Dashboard (team editor overview), Our TagHelpers (friendly views for your frontenders), AzureBlob + AzureBlob.ImageSharp (centralised media for multi tier env) and not on the marketplace.. but Serilog.Sinks.Seq, realtime log interface SEQ from datalust - outside of umbraco backoffice with TSQL quering and property deserialising. https://datalust.co/
