Way too many to list tbh.. there is so much good stuff nowadays. So i'll just shout Noise Egineering because I love their stuff and it's not the obvious suspects like Fab Filter, U He, Softube etc.

But I can safely say that, when I'm not buying products from KingOZ, I'm making purchases from: Audiority and Fuse Audio Labs. Others as well, but those two really stand out.
And now they've been mentioned in the same post as KingOZ! They've hit the big time now.

Everything I use by definition is great, and so what do I use? Only those things that can be great. I also like the things other people find great, because by definition if those people use them they must be great. Also I like great because it can become meaningless so greatly on a great forum such as this.

I started fooling around with the Waves Synths Element and Codex. I was not expecting to like them as much as I do and they are actually starting to become my go-tos. What I like is that they are both "single page" synths that put everything in front of you without being overwhelming. Elements is giving me the joy I used to get from tinkering around with my hardware korg polysix

Off the top of my head, and focusing on the less mentioned devs and software houses:
MUST HAVE (I could mix using only tools by):
Voxengo
TDR
Klanghelm
EXCELLENT (I'll use them in most mixes):
D16
HOFA
HONOURABLE MENTIONS (they have at least something I like a lot):
Variety of Sound (a very distinct colour, that I don't always love, but they're certainly well made)
airwindows (lots of questionable plugins, but quite a few really excellent ones with some true, unique character)
Slate Digital (their tape sim is my favourite)
Audiothing
Overloud (TH-U is the only amp sim I get along with)
Analog Obsession (err... some things are just nice looking but quite basic DSP-wise, but there are a few plugins I actually like, for example some of his EQs, his Brit emulations, regardless of authenticity)

Very impressed with Tone Projects and Vertigo Sound right now and for synths Softube, all of them. And their newer FX stuff is pretty damn good too.
