Shapes, Modifiers, Armatures and Constraints.
Man I do love em.
Most Blender users know Modifiers are useful for modelling, but I think few realise that Shapes, Armatures and Constraints are also very useful for modelling.
Personally, I use all 4 features for making my own 'Parameter' objects too, that I can just drop into a scene, adjust some sliders, and tada, new object.
It's not that hard to make for example a bookcase with parametric height/depth/width, that can be toggled with 3D widgets, even with dynamic adjustable number of shelves that appear as you slide the bookcase height slider. It saves LOTs of time later on.
