All those options presented above are good but not great. All have missing stuff here and there. There are even more plugins on WordPress.org that allow bulk installation of plugins but in the day to day usage none of them is really convincing. On Multisite most of them work not properly.

The installation of the "favorite" plugins is ok, but this concept is only half-baked yet in my opinion. The "favoriting" of plugins on WordPress.org is very limited as you cannot create croups or whatever. Also the listing in the profiles is a total mess. To make use of this functionality in a good way you would end up with way to many profile accounts only to have some organizing/ grouping.

It's a pity: as many things on WordPress.org that look or sound like a good idea, if you scratch on the surface, it's mostly half-baked or only limited for real-life usage (review system, plugin support forums, plugin favorites, user profile pages, "responsive" attempts of .org itself...).
