I use the ZIP Backup feature several times a day. I also like a cople of the IDE enhancements, i use the enhanced toolbar to keep the buttons i use the most right by the editing pane. The main way i use GExperts is through tool buttons i've put on that bar. I also enable the "multi-line tab" feature for the D7 palette bar and the editor window.
I use the Uses Clause Manager (button) a lot, thats a great little applet, you dont have to lose your place in the editor to add a library, and the search feature is simple but well done. And the Message Dialog wizard (Ctrl-D from the code editor) is great for knocking out message prompts and dialogs. I'm pretty good about keeping track of matching delimiters, but that little editor button is handy for when things get out of hand. The Project Dependencies applet is very handy when you need it, even if that is only rarely. Beats the heck out of digging through uses clauses. So i guess i use a few features a lot, and the rest hardly or not at all. My aim is to keep my train of thought and not get bogged down in the mechanics of coding, and GExperts has some handy features that fit into that goal. the other IDE addon that I like a lot is the ModelMaker CodeExplorer; I can code without it, but it's so handy in so many ways (and very well written imo) that i find it worth paying for. Since GExperts is so modular, I don't have to choose between the two where their functionalities overlap a little. And you can't beat the price.
