Keep in mind I and the gang don't add anything that didn't come with VS. So the answer is none.

But external to VS we do use WinMerge from time to time.

I used to use the Regular Expression plugin until I rolled my own stand-alone tester.

Can you clarify what do you need? What technologies are you associated with? Different plugins can be used for different projects. There is a rich selection of plug-ins in Visual Studio

Markdown Editor is quite popular. Many friends use it.

I have been using Visual Assist for over 15 years. A few years ago, I tried turning it off and using plain Visual Studio, but it didn't take long to realize I preferred many of the little things that VA does to make programming quicker and easier.
