Can't use square brackets in cites
I really like the basic functionality of this plugin, but there is a HUGE issue with it, and that is that you cannot use square brackets in your footnotes. MANY cites require square brackets. However, because this plugin uses square brackets to denote the beginning and end of a footnote, if you use them elsewhere, the text within said brackets disappears. Unfortunately, that renders this plugin pretty much useless for me. Darn it. 🙁

Good, but currently “abandoned”
Would be five stars, except my Wordfence security plugin just notified me today that it appears FD Footnotes is "abandoned" (updated June 6, 2016, tested to WP 4.3.16). I hope the developer does what is necessary to keep this plugin up to date!
Easy to use and looking good
Using it on all my websites, one of my favourite plugins in order to keep content not really belonging to the post separated, but still mentioning it. Edtit in 10/2020: Although not maintained since 2016, plugin works for me, very happy with it.
Simple plugin still works Sep 2018
We've been using this plugin for maybe 6 years or more. It is now September 2018, and the plugin has been apparently abandoned. But apparently the code was good enough that it is still working flawlessly on our site, where we use footnotes regularly.. I understand the "Footnotation" plugin works with the same [1. Footnote .. ] code. If this should stop working, we'll try that one. If someone know of a way to notify the author, perhaps he could post a minor "update" so it doesn't look abandoned.

GREAT PLUGIN
Here is a slightly updated version to the wonderful code that @johanneseva wrote to stylize the footnote section to look more like a footnote section (smaller font, line above section, etc.) The only addition I made is to put a space (bottom margin) between the footnote line items. I also increased the line size itself from 1em to 1.2em for better readability. sup.footnote a { text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: super; font-weight: bold; font-size: 80%; padding-left: 0.3em; } .footnotedivider { width: 40%; padding-top: 0.8em; border-top: 1px solid #000; } .footnotes { font-size: 72%; } .footnotes li { line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 6px; } I have been using this FD Plugin for a few years now. It is GREAT! Simple to use and just works.
