EssentialsX, Sunlight or Alternatives?
I'm looking for a plugin do to basic stuff like:
Spawn, Homes, Warps, TPs, Vanish, RGB Colours, Basic Admin/Moderation Commands, and maybe some misc. stuff like sitting down on stairs, etc.
EssentialsX seems simple enough and does all the required, but I like the out of the box GUIs that Sunlight offers. HOWEVA I back read that Sunlight might be more prone to exploits/bugginess than Essentials? Which would you guys recommend, or any other alternatives? do something entirely different with another plugin? Looking for opinions and suggestions so I can get out of this decision paralysis, lol. Thanks.
Also, no CMI. I had prior experience and issues with it.

Solution
Srry I didn’t read this
Essentials on itself is not a good plugin, only scenario I would recommend it is if it were your first server
Usually plugins that bundle a lot of completely different features like essentials don’t specialize in any of those, so you get basic stuff
In contrast, plugins that specialize in a single feature have a better understanding of your needs
Example:
Vanish in essentials is very limited, they use a built-in function in bukkit to hide the player and then apply an invisibility potion, so if other plugin uses the same builtin function you can get exposed without being notified.
SuperVanish/PremiumVanish (and other vanish plugins) use packets to hide the player, so it doesn’t matter if other plugins use that function
