* NERD_tree - Nice tree list of files for project browsing
* NERD_commenter - Mapped to ,c<Spc> to toggle between commenting and uncommenting
* SimpleFold - Folding that doesn't suck courtesy of the eigenclass blog
* a.vim - quickly alternate between a .c and .h file
* ack - way better searching than vimgrep or regular grep
* vimclojure - A must-have for Clojure dev in Vim <3
* ctk - auto-compilation and syntax check for languages. I use it to check ruby files on save
* easytags - automatically generate the tags file for your buffers
* eclim - I develop enterprise Java, eclim keeps me sane by giving my almost all of Eclipse's useful features in Vim
* fuzzyfinder - great file-finding tool similar to Emacs' C-x C-f
* gist - automatically post your buffer to a gist, download gists etc, super handy
* localvimrc - allows me to have project-specific vimrcs
* matchit - for beter % matching
* narrow - Emacs'-style narrowing and widening
* netrw - edit files remotely over ftp/ssh/etc
* paredit - the paredit.vim file from the slimv plugin, doesn't work as well as Emacs' paredit, but it's semi-useful
* pastie - post your buffer to pastie
* rails - various helpers from the vim-ruby project for rails
* repeat - allows repeating things that aren't normally repeatable with '.'
* securemodelines - don't let people do mean things in modelines
* showmarks - I'm on the fence with this one, great if you use a lot of marks and want to show them
* slime - pipe text from a vim buffer to a screen session
* snipmate - Textmate-like snippets for various languages
* supertab - tab-completion that works pretty well, this + eclim is great for java dev
* surround - tools for messing with surroundings of files
* taglist - use ctags to display a tag list in a pane
* twitvim - seriously, why use a twitter client when you can use vim
* vimball - used to install a lot of vim plugins
* vimwiki - I store all of my tech-related text here
* visualstar - this lets you use '' to search for more than just a single word
yankring - a ring of yanks when doing copy/paste
If I had to pick just one for a favorite, it'd be a tie between fuzzyfinder and NERD_tree, way better than manually trying to find the file to edit.
In addition there are quite a few filetype plugins for better syntax highlighting for the variety of languages I work with.
