Tokens are small bits of text that can be placed into larger documents via simple placeholders, like %site-name or [user]. The Token module provides a central API for modules to use these tokens, and expose their own token values. #D7CX: We don't need to pledge that Token will have a full Drupal 7 release... [More...]

This is no end-user module but a supporting module and sometimes required module for other modules.
Pathauto is probably the most used module which requires Token. It allows you to set up automatic URL's per content type which is something I do for all of my content types. That makes this module a must have for me.
Another module which makes use of Token is FileField, a type of CCK field available as a plugin module. Thanks to Token I can set the names of the uploaded files to the same values as those stored in some other CCK-field within the same node.
With the module FileField Paths I can set where the uploaded file should be saved and with Token I have alot of tokens to choose from.
This is a very mature, reliable token replacement module that doesn't do much on its own, but sure makes modules like Pathauto a heck of a lot more powerful. There's a reason this is in the top 5 Drupal 6 modules. The documentation is pretty good. And for the complaint that you can't get a list of the current tokens, it's up to the modules that implement token to make sure they display them in a helpful context (see pathauto).
The documentation for this great module sucks! I cant find any of the features I need!
As the module description states, there is no end-user functionality. However because the path auto module requires this to work, it is a requirement for me on all sites.
Token, I don't specifically know or care what you do, but thank you.
This is a stellar module that adds a small but extremely useful bit of functionality to Drupal. End users only need to install this if required by other modules, but all developers should be aware of this module and what it does.
This module does not do much on its own, however it is necessary for many modules (such as path_auto, and contemplate), and because of this, Token is amazing. The idea of the module is simple - allow a user to easily access information associated with a node. Simply created, simple to use. Great module!

"This module will make the Upload Files Form beautiful. It doesn't work with filefield, just the upload..."
