Others would be useful, like quick print, but noone knows what/where they are. I see several people hide as many unused toolbars as they can, since it distracts attention away from the important stuff--the map in the middle. Besides me, I don't see any interest at my office in the niche plugins, like mapserver export and others. I see good potential of usage in the interpolation and ftools plugins.

In my view, the special attraction of QGIS is it's relatively simple, 
easy to understand interface. The plugin infrastructure, of course, lets 
the use get as deep as he wants into all the sophisticated GIS analyses, 
but the beginning user can  easily dip his big toe and start making some 
maps, without getting frustrated, or overwhelmed right at the outset. So 
I tend to agree with Mike that plugins should be disabled by default.
