plugins I'm kinda fucked up about

The weird repeat offenders. The plugins that stopped being utilities and started becoming part of the writing process itself.

There's a category of plugin that crosses a line. Where it stops being something you reach for and starts being something you organize your signal chain around. These are those.

A few of them I don't fully understand. I've stopped trying to. Understanding them too precisely would probably ruin whatever it is about them that works.

I'm aware this list will look different to everyone. That's fine. If you've got your own version of this list, I'd actually be curious to hear it.
