 * I really liked this plugin and was able to achieve the objective of ‘Exporting
   my users to a CSV”.
 * I can’t give 5 stars because I feel this plugin could be improved by doing the
   following:
 * * Making passwords exportable using a checkbox rather then adding code.
    * Allowing
   the user the option to set the column headers to assist with importing plugins.*
   Add an “Import” option into the plugin as well to avoid the hassle of trying 
   to find a suitable plugin to import the data into another wordpress site. * Give
   the user a couple more options on what data to include.
 * Great contribution!

 * Happy to accept your pull requests for those additional features here:
    [https://github.com/mathetos/export-users-to-csv/issues](https://github.com/mathetos/export-users-to-csv/issues)
 * I do plan to make the password a setting, but only because people are asking 
   for it — I really don’t recommend it at all. Plain-text passwords are a PCI compliance
   and security nightmare.
 * The headers are set by the database. Changing that would most likely produce 
   more problems than it solves.
 * I won’t be adding an “Import” — that’s not what this plugin is. There are many
   others that import already.
 * I plan to have checkboxes for all user meta to allow you to choose which meta
   you want to export.
 * Other than that, I’m glad that — as you said — you “really liked this plugin 
   and was able to achieve the objective of ‘Exporting my users to a CSV’.” — That’s
   the purpose of the plugin, which I’m supporting for free 🙂
