While I love useful extensions, I can't stand cluttering my screen with extra windows and modules, and the toolbar helps keep options readily available without causing a mess. There's a great range of utilities for designers with this extension; event sounds, glossary and help hint popups, accordion, and RSS reader proved the most useful for my purposes, though there are several other options I've seen implemented on modern sites. The feed reader requires PHP server-side, which can involve a little bit of time if you don't already have this installed, but other options were easy to implement without any extra configuring. I didn't run into any confusion or bugs while using the toolbar, which is a great comfort considering this extension's somewhat hefty price tag. Though Developers4Web offers the ability to purchase each toolbar utility separately, I caved and paid the full price for the complete toolbar, which may have been a mistake as I probably won't use each included tool. I'd suggest taking a look at the capabilities of each toolbar feature before buying to get the most out of this great-looking extension.
