The 30 Most Useful Symfony Bundles (and making them even better)

Last week we published a survey asking you to list the most useful community
bundles for your day-to-day work. We received over 300 replies and more than
330 different bundles received at least one vote. Many thanks to all the developers
who took part in the survey!
So, without further ado, here are the most useful bundles according to you, the Symfony community (in parenthesis, the percent of survey answers that noted each bundle):
- FOSUserBundle (60%)
- FOSRestBundle (30%)
- KnpMenuBundle (25%)
- StofDoctrineExtensionsBundle (25%)
- JMSSerializerBundle (24%)
- SonataAdminBundle (24%)
- FOSJsRoutingBundle (23%)
- LiipImagineBundle (22%)
- KnpPaginatorBundle (16%)
- NelmioApiDocBundle (11%)
- FOSElasticaBundle (11%)
- HWIOAuthBundle (11%)
- VichUploaderBundle (10%)
- RaulFraileLadyBugBundle (9%)
- KnpSnappyBundle (8%)
- DoctrineFixturesBundle (8%)
- WhiteOctoberPagerFantaBundle (8%)
- DoctrineMigrationsBundle (8%)
- MopaBootstrapBundle (7%)
- JMSSecurityExtraBundle (6%)
- DoctrineBundle (5%)
- AvalancheImagineBundle (5%)
- JMSDiExtraBundle (5%)
- GenemuFormBundle (4%)
- KnpGaufretteBundle (4%)
- SncRedisBundle (4%)
- LexikFormFilterBundle (3%)
- JMSI18nRoutingBundle (3%)
- LiuggioExcelBundle (3%)
- JMSTranslationBundle (3%)
So, what happens now?
First, the results of the survey will be used to make some key decisions over the new few months. No, we can't say more, but stay tuned ;).
But for starters, these bundles will participate in the second DX Hackday that will be announced very soon. We want the most useful Symfony community bundles to be even more incredible!
If you are the author of one of these bundles and want to participate in the
DX initiative, start labeling issues with DX
in your repositories and
we'll find them for the hack day. If you're a user, create new issues with the
DX
label or prefix your issue with [DX]
and we'll find those too.
Again, thanks to everyone that answered the survey and to all the developers that have spent time making these bundles great. You make the Symfony Community and using Symfony amazing.
Help the Symfony project!
As with any Open-Source project, contributing code or documentation is the most common way to help, but we also have a wide range of sponsoring opportunities.

I can't simply change my structure because they don't follow composer rules for autoloading. Bundles are pretty flexible in Symfony2, yet to register them on that website, it has to be matched 1:1 with their terms, even if it works without following them.
What I'm looking for is an official way to index Symfony bundles, not because they follow someone's standards, but because they are good. A lot of bundles in this list are in my opinion not worthy of their places. They are either bloated, contain far too much logic for a bundle, try to do too much at once, implement bad design patterns etc. I want quality, not quantity.
