Every now and then, someone mentions that they're feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volumen of plugins available in Obsidian and asks which ones I actually use.
With the caveat that everyone has a subtly different use-case and some fantastic plugins are incrediblely valuable for people not me (i.e. an academic or a project manager or a tabletop gamer or a day trader will have _vastly_ different needs than me), here are the 16 plugins I currently have enabled:
```
1: Auto Linker v0.0.4 [this is an experimental one that helps my memory tremendously; it lets me link to [[alias]] directly instead of having to remember [[actual title|alias]]
2: Better Word Count v0.8.1 [I'm a writer, so this is important to me, but a lot of people seem to not care]
3: Dataview v0.5.47 [cannot live without]
4: Hotkeys++ v0.2.7 [cannot live without]
5: Natural Language Dates v0.6.1 [cannot live without]
6: Obsidian Leaflet v5.0.4 [nifty for keeping track of where things happen in my stories, but I doubt most people need it]
7: QuickAdd v0.8.0 [mostly for the zettelizer]
8: Readwise Official v2.0.1 [basically the backbone of my research workflow rn]
9: Settings Search v1.3.0 [super handy when you have a bunch of plugins or can't remember where something is]
10: Sortable v0.3.0 [very nice for moving around dataview tables]
11: Style Settings v0.4.12 [cannot live without some of these features]
12: Supercharged Links v0.9.3 [its handy but I don't leverage it as much as I wish I could, since it would require a huge investment to update old files for it]
13: Tag Wrangler v0.5.4 [cannot live without]
14: Novel word count v2.9.3 [mostly just for data]
15: Text Format v2.2.1 [occasionally very useful for fixing broken text imports]
16: Obsidian Git v2.16.0 [very handy for getting a sanitized version of my vault, that's mostly what I use it for]
