Ok i just noticed this setting up my team on blood furnace. With jamba all i am using is a follow and focus macro for all toons and thats it. I dont know if it is jambas programming but when i attack with my main all my alts do the samething without having to have all the attacks in macros. But my question is should i still use macros or does jamba do a good enough job doing this with all the follow master inbedded in the program. Any help thanks and maybe the creator of jamba can give me a answer as well so i know for sure. TY

Jamba has no targeting logic built in, what you are likely experiencing is the fact that many abilities will target the nearest target when you hit them, melee abilities are commonly doing this.

macro's will give you more flexibility, jamba gives you some nifty features, to be honest, use both?

Fixed that for you :-P

I hate major patch days, and I know it's tough work, but I hate it when the addons I was using don't work because the guy didn't update it. (I realize they don't get paid, etc, but still, I'm sure you guys know what I mean)

It' s not either or, it's both IMO.

Jamba has some nice features. I haven't even taken full advantage of it.

You will always need macros.

In the end, it really depends on your playstyle. So, only you will be able to decide.

Just for those things that you mentioned, it's a godsend. One button group set up, warnings when follow breaks, quest completing, flight masters... it's awesome.
