Trying to find some that would make my workflow more efficient. Have been using Inkscape since 0.2, but learned about existence of addons only yesterday.

(if you're asking about third-party extensions, that is)

There are so very many, and so very different extensions.  It very much depends on what your work is, as to which ones will help you.

I keep a list of all of them on the Home tab of this website.  Scroll down to the bottom third of the page.  If you click on each list item, it expands to show all the extensions in that category.

I agree with the others but will add Inkscape Table Support, which is nice when you need a fast table.  You can get there with clones, but sometimes table nomenclature is easier to grasp.  Chain-Paths is good when you get a mess of a file with a bunch of line segments that really want to be one path.

Guess then you haven't seen this extension? It's been there for quite a long time. On the other forum there was even a topic with a variant of the extension which has more styling options.

I've seen that, but didn't try it.  Sometimes with a table, I like that it says rows and columns.  Dirt simple.
