Any good Dreamweaver Extensions?

Dreamweaver (MX) extensions. Does anybody use these? Which ones can't you live without?

I've been using Dreamweaver since version 2, but I generally do any tough coding stuff myself, either in code view or a text editor. I did freelance design for a while, but now mostly design for myself and friends. I dabble with PHP, know quite a bit of javascript, etc..

I'm just wondering if there are extensions and tricks that will make my life easier since the last time I bothered to look at any documentation for Dreamweaver was around 4 years ago.

The only extension I use regularly is Advanced State Insert, which inserts a dropdown menu with all 50 states. Macromedia Exchange's description:

Inserts a form select with US states, Canadian provinces and foreign territories. Has controls for specifying 48 Continental States or all 50 States, Canadian Provinces and foreign territories. Gives you control over abbreviated state codes or full state and province names for the select menu labels and values.

I work in a comms role and can't live without 'change case' which, well, changes the case of text to upper, lower or title.

Response by poster: So I assume everyone else, like me, can't be bothered with them..?.

The two mentioned do look useful, but I don't see myself using them all that often. I'll try to keep these in mind though for the next time I have some obscure repetitive task that might already have a solution via extensions..
