I agree with Harrissou that if the plugins are not available in QGIS 3 then they shouldn't be on the Featured list. The plugins I use the most are:
Lat Lon Tools <http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/latlontools/> I might be a little biased here but it has the best coordinate snapshot and zoom to capabilities, a number of conversion utilities, and digitizing points using text strings in a number of formats. Shape Tools <http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/shapetools/> is also equally used for its geodesic shape creation, geodesic digitizing functions, geodesic measurements, as well as a number of other tools. Plugin Reloader <http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugin_reloader/> I will second this one as it is essential for plugin development although its user base is developers which is a subset of QGIS users. Profile Tool <http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/profiletool/> I use this one fairly often although I wish its graphics display looked better. QuickMapServices <http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/quick_map_services/> This is very useful for quickly adding a base layer. Memory Layer Saver <http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/MemoryLayerSaver/> It is nice to know that those temporary layers will still be there after a QGIS project is saved and reloaded. Freehand raster georeferencer <http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/FreehandRasterGeoreferencer/> This one has been quite useful to me this past year as I was trying to georeference some old maps. This has a smaller user base as it is a more focused tool so I don't know where you draw the line on what should be featured or not. In my opinion the featured plugins should be a combination of really useful plugins and newer plugins that people don't really know about, but have a lot of potential. Personally I would avoid plugins that are interfaces to commercial services - not because they are not important, but simply because I would prefer highlighting open source services and plugins. I would probably avoid plugins that are specific to a certain country. Is there a good plugin to interface with "R"? I personally haven't used R, but know a lot of people that do? If there is a good plugin that works well it might be a candidate. Those are my thoughts. If I get some time to look at some of the newer plugins then I might add to this.
