As long as i get to be the frog
I'm a big fan of Dimension Door. I'd rate it as good. I find it much more useful than death ward (a different spell you rated as good)
I consider burning hands or thunderwave some of the most useful level 1 spells at level 1. I guess that leaves me with the question of what level of wizard are you approaching these lists from?

So far
Darkvision to Setup − good call.
Burning Hands and Thunderwave are Melee Suicide, but for a character who is competent in melee, they are considered Good and Excellent, respectively. Typically, Wizards are fragile and do well to stay as far away from a threat as possible. But some Wizards are built to melee, and other mages like Bard and so on, are often competent.
Dimension Door to Good − I can see that, it was close to the cusp anyway.
Conjure Woodland to Not Bad − heh, the sobriety hurts!
Tongues − Tongues seems better as a Not Bad or Good 2nd-level spell, than as a dubious 3rd-level spell. Most creatures that can speak, can speak common.
I have to check the difference between Tongues as a spell and Telepathy as a language (as described in the Monster Manual). They might be the same thing. If so, or if they are close enough, then flavorwise, full-on Telepathy at spell level 2 makes me happy. And it also explains how certain player races might include Telepathy as feature.
