WP Emmet

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Five stars because it works as expected. BUT, it would be extra-nice if there was syntax highlighting. The pure black code on a white background gives me a headache, and unfortunately this plugin does not work along with the HTML Editor Syntax Highlighter plugin.

   I can’t believe this plugin is not more popular. I am a developer and always used the text tab for writing pages but was missing tab completion like my normal code editor. Because of this plugin I may actually start blogging regularly. Thanks for your work on this!
