I am new to Sketchup and right now completely overwhelmed by all those plugins. Can I somewhere find a up-zo-date list where they are sorted by categories - modelling, rendering, import/export, etc. - and download numbers?

Just to remind you all. Above is the initial post. As he says, he is new to sketchup and overwhelmed by all these plugins! Oh woe!

He doesn't understand how plugins develop over time. He seems to expect to be informed to keep him up to date.

He must think this is a sort of Acad without the cost of constant paid updates. Lazy or ignorant I reckon.

I have a personal relationship with my plugins. I check for updates out of interest. I follow the development of a plugin out of interest.Mostly, I don't need 'em, (until I do).
But it is fascinating to watch the ruby gurus develop a plugin with feedback from members.
It is the beauty of SU and this forum.

Would someone with more cred than me please address this issue, which I believe has the potential to destroy "3D for Everyone".

I am reminded of a quote from John Brunner's book 'Zanzibar'....
..." It's supposed to be automatic, but actually, you have to press this button".
