(Vanilla Addons Categories of 2020)
These are the addons that I find essential:
pfQuest, EQL3, ShaguValue, SUCC-bag (or Onebag), Automaton, ShaguClock, Mail, CharactersViewer, RingMenu, aux-addon, MobHealth, FastQuest, oCB, Atlas, AddOnOrganizer, Gatherer, ImprovedErrorFrame, MapCoords, MinimapButtonBag, BestBuff, Natur Enemy Castbar, SpellAlert, Sentry, Retarget
These are some addons that are not completely essential but they are still very useful (or very nice) to me:
URLCopy, ChatTimestamps, ChatLog, EQCompare, oGlow, SuperInspect, unitscan, ShaguScore, AutoDing, QuestHistory, RecipeRadar, ShaguNotify, ShaguKill
