Works perfect without any bloat
This is how a plugin should be. Functional without hassle, with in-editor settings and the option to customise if necessary.

Great plugin
Not too simple, not too complex, exactly what you need. Plus detailed documentation.
Innoxius -
Simple and adjustable with CSSquickly
If I had to code it myself, I would have done it this way. I am happy with this simple plugin yet light and easy to use.

Does what I need it to do
This came after I tried 5 or so others (including one I tried to code myself). Those were all flawed, this one works out of the box. I haven't delved too deeply in how it works or what it does, but so far seems to combine configurability with smart defaults. One minor issue, not enough to subtract a point, is I do not seem to be able to change the shape of the arrows.
