This measures maintenance, not quality. A small, finished plugin that genuinely needed no changes in three years grades ABANDONED here and may still be the right choice. What the grade tells you is whether anyone is there if something breaks.

Selected mechanically, not editorially: shipped within 12 months, 1,000+ installs, and 3.5 stars or better where 10+ people rated it. Ranked by install count. Nobody paid to be on this list and there is nothing to pay for.
