which JLCPCB KiCad plugin to use?
but most/all links I find on sites like adafruit point to https://github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools
-
Quick Part Search
Assuming you are talking about https://github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools, I believe that was just a misunderstanding and has been resolved.

Bouni JLCPCB plugin rocks
If you use JLCPCB, then you need this tool. It generates all required files. Let’s you select parts and easily correct component rotation. https://github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools

Today I ordered my very first self-designed PCB!
Yeah, I like Kicad but EasyEDA has time saving integration with their libraries and PCBA service.Does someone know if this library is any good? https://github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools
- wasn't there an addon or something that allowed to browse through lcsc/jlcpcb library in kicad, and then easily use pick an place function, and then export it all to the format required by jlc?
-
ESP32 in NodeMCU form factor done!
Plus, KiCad has tons of awesome features (including third party tools to make exporting to JLCPCB super easy! Link here.) while being free and open source, all that good stuff.

JLCPCB Settings / First Order
Only semi related, but I can highly recommend the kicad-jlcpcb-tools plugin, it only takes 2 buttons to not only create gerbers but also placement and bom files if you ever want your board assembled
- wasn't there a python script to get the jlcpcb libraries and put em on kicad?

Vendor libraries for kicad
I tried out a couple of JLC Kicad plugins, and thought that this one was by far the best: https://github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools

- Coin Cell battery Holder is not available on KiCad!

Are there additional footprint plugins/libraries?
Digikey has a pretty decent library Its not constantly update but there is lots to pull from
-
Vendor libraries for kicad
I'm a little confused by your post. It's your job as the designer to ensure the footprints are correct. If you want an atomic library try the digi key one. Each symbol has one footprint so it's hard to mess up. https://github.com/Digi-Key/digikey-kicad-library

Real-time Netlisting in KiCad [video]
Software quality and component library quality are a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem, Kicad's editors are popular enough and good enough that major vendors (like Digikey [1] and SnapEDA [2]) are offering Kicad footprints for products.
