2. Quality and security: Extensions in the TYPO3 repository are usually tested and reviewed by the community. This means that they are more secure and reliable compared to extensions you might find elsewhere.
3. Regular updates: Extensions in the repository are often updated by their developers. These updates can fix bugs, add new features or improve security. The repository makes it easy to keep your extensions up to date.
4. Community support: The TYPO3 community is active and supportive. If you run into problems with an extension, chances are someone else has had the same issue, and you can find help in the forums or in the documentation linked through the repository.
