Excellent plugin for an infobox

This is an excellent plugin if you need an infobox in your WordPress content. Highly customizable, no unnecessary fluff. I don’t know why would someone consider this useless. 5 stars no question.

Absolutely useless!

The plugin doesn’t even have a user interface. It’s absolutely useless.
