Bapu should have a giant B turned sideways
and a sign that say's BILLIONS PURCHASED ...

do do do do do...he's lovin' it!

I refuse to incriminate myself....

On the original question - too many.
 
I mostly use TRacks & CSR for mixing and mastering however I find my self using the Prochannel modules more recently, that with the other bundles cakewalk effects covers most bases. I like Blue Cat's free stuff and they get a bit of use. The only other package (amp sims excluded) that get used a lot is the D16 group's effects which are unique. I also use a few specalist things like Hornet autogain too.

If the OP really cares.... here is my list that is missing a couple of later libraries

 That is one hell of a list! I like to see this up against Yorolpal's
I have a way to go before i catch you but I am frightened to write mine down.

Too effin many!
 
According to Plug-in Manager:
 
VST Audio Effects: 479  (many of these are multiple listings and "synths as effects", plus UAD and Izotope install their whole package and offer unpaid ones as demos, still...)
VST Instruments:  75
 
There...I said it.  Very cleansing.

I refuse to incriminate myself....

What can I say - I have no shame
 

I've purchased about 15 or so and that's about twice as many as I need.

Hardly any outside of Sonar since my new machine was built:
 
T-Racks singles (12 of 'em)
BFD2 (+ a shedload of expansion packs)
EWQLSO Platinum
 
Plus a few other bits & pieces.

To answer the question...

MORE then enough...
and NOT as many as AM BAPU....
