      I dont know if my most used plugins are my favorites but anyway:
      Put on layer (I use it ALL the time to keep my file organised.)
      Weld (I've edited it so I have it under the right click menu)
      Joint pushpull (Could also be Extrude edge by vector)

              Based on use:

              Weld
              Remove unused edges
              BZ spline (all)

              Based on coolest/usefulness (IMO)

              SD&S
              Curviloft
              JPP

              All of the above make SU easier and better to use.

                  I already gave you three--for this week. I also like to see how well I can do some operations from scratch. However, I don't think Weld has a native substitute.

                  I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                  I totally agree on this one. It is invaluable to me. Move all geometry to layer 0 while keeping all groups, images, components on the layer they were on. Absolute must for clean modeling habits.

                                  Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

                                      I gather you mean to say "move all loose geometry, that is, not grouped or turned into a component".

                                          Edson, the plugin Chris refers to does move all geometry whether it is loose or in a component/group to the Default layer as he wrote. It is very handy for cleaning up models. I end up using it once in awhile on models others send me but I have adopted a practice in which I never set any layer other than the default as active.
