There really aren't many Addons for Rift and fewer still that are kept up to date :(

Any recommendations for a Unit Frame addon - I feel spoilt by what was availble for WoW, with cast bars for party members, pet units, pet targets, etc etc.

I've currently gone with MyUI http://www.riftui.com/downloads/info126-myUI.html but it hasn't been updated since last July/August and I'd hate to get used to an addon that then breaks with a game patch.

I use Gadgets (http://www.riftui.com/downloads/info250-Gadgets.html) for my Unit Frames (and a bunch of other stuff). The addon is up-to-date and seems to be under active development.

Ah, should have mentioned that I tried out Gadgets and didn't think much of its unit frames as you can't have frames for your pets - playing 5 mages atm and I need to monitor pet healths from the driver so I know when to channel the heal pet spell.

You get pet frames for all pets in the group with the built-in UI already. But not when you're in a raid, is that what you need it for?

Yup - don't want to lose sight of the pets when in bigger groups.
And I don't think much of the default raid frames - seems so lacking compared to how I had WoW setup with addons, hence my search for suitable rift addons.

I've tried myUI now, but I can't use it for raid frames because it doesn't show debuffs in its raid ui. So now I'm going to try using Gadgets for the raid ui and myUI for the raid pets.
