Superb.

Spectacular and versatile tool to optimize the management of your WordPress site.

I have it on every install

Yep, one of those plugins I have on every single wordpress site for myself and my clients. I love that it’s free, and the premium version seems very comprehensive, although I haven’t used it.

Tons of little fixes and enhancements available. It’s definitely something I install on every site!

Very useful

Great plugin that really makes it easy to see all of the custom fields in a post or custom post type. Very conveniently displayed at the bottom of the post edit admin screen.
