I used to use bartender, but been away a while - That still the main choice?
bartender 4
Same as fur, i try to use as little addon's as possible because I hate having to reconfig them every patch. LOL I hate even updating DBM.
Macaroon been using them since they were called Trinity and Maul always seems to have Them working after every patch very fast
Been thinking the same, but I always run out of buttons with the normal ui - Might be because I also single box most characters...Quote:

Since I've been boxing, I've been using the standard UI, it's the easiest to setup with keybindings and stuff.
When I play single toons, I have Bartender4 along with a ton of other overhauls.
I run out of buttons aswell on the normal ui.
I prefer bartender 4.
Only bar addon I use is Autobar. For action bars use the standard wow bars. Autobar automagically provides alot of buttons that would otherwise take up/use all the default bar space.
I also use alot of macros to combine actions/etc.
On my hunter I use Track-O-Matique so it'll auto-track the mob type I'm fighting so I don't need any tracking on any bars.
standard ui for 95%, the other 5% macaroon (for macros I share/sync between the accounts/toons)
do like having the macaroon feature of being able to directly map keys to spells in the spellbook.
I used FuBar pre 3.0, then Bartender4 till 3.1. After I figured out how to use Macaroon, I've been using that 100%. I love being able to have different bar setups and macros for different computers, so if I'm playing one solo or part of the team I don't need to change anything.
I also recently started using the circle-shaped bar (hidden, shown on alt key) for click items like trinkets/pots/food/etc.
Im currently using the dominos add on it works nicely and has a multitude of configuring options that will help If you are using xkeys
Like most have posted already, I don't use a bar addon. I run with as few addons as makes sense, mostly because I don't want to have to rely on fixes to addons after patches to keep playing. If all my addons broke today when I got home, then hardly anything would be different for me. I would definitely miss Jamba and QuestHelper, but can survive without them (just slightly less conveniently).
Bar space can become an issue at times, more so with some classes over others (shaman, mage). I just use macros as efficiently as I can to reduce the number of buttons I actually need. Anything that I almost never use gets put on the secondary action bar, such as tradeskills and situational out-of-combat stuff like all the tracking abilities for a hunter or portals for the mage.
Other than VanasKos and Cartographer I have quit using addons.
I use Bar4. I am not really the "stock" kinda guy. I have to mod everything. So even my UI has to be modded to my tastes.
I'm a bit surprised at the amount of people that use the default blizzard bars. I thought with the amount of macros most people use for multiboxing almost everyone would have a bar addon of some sort to provide more buttons.
I use macaroon personally, I think 80% of my buttons are a macro of some sort, I couldn't live without it.
Yeah that surprised me as well. The normal UI takes up a ton of room for me which I don't like. I don't care to shift to get to the next bar. What I like about the addons is I can set them to fade out so it doesn't clutter my view. When I mouse over them they are back.
Ditched the default buttons/bars/macros when Blizzard fucked around with storing them on the server last year and I lost everything multiple times!
Now it's Macaroon for every char, single or multiboxed, so I can backup my files and restore them when/where I want.
CTMod since I started with it and have gotten too used to it to give it up. Relatively simple and effective.
Default UI. TBH it works just fine and if it isn't broke don't fix it.
However that being said, while I'm not running out of bar space, I wouldn't mind having a few more bars.
As of right now I have bar one for, when said toon is leading, and bar 2 for when said toon is following the focus. And the rest full of all kinds of utility stuff. I've worked it pretty well so that I can do both pvp and heroic dungeons with my current set-up. But I wouldn't mind having additional bars to set-up specifically for boosting either 1 lvl 80 boosting 4 low lvls thru azeroth content or 4 lvl 80's boosting 1 lvl 72+ through WOTLK. And a few other things too.
Dominoes FTW, but I could live without it.
Me too.Quote:

I originally started using it because Bongos became unsupported and I had a complex setup with two X-keys devices and all sorts of things. It was nice being able to configure the bars to "take on" the shape of the two X-keys as a visual cue for me.
I've simplified my setup considerably since then.
These days, I use just one more visible bar than is available in the standard UI, but mouse-over keybinding would be missed too. I always seem to be fiddling around with things, and that's a really nice feature.
If Dominoes ever becomes usupported, with no clear migration path, I expect that I'll find a way to go back to the default bars rather than go through another learning and configuration exercise. I'd sorely miss those extra 10 buttons though!
I use the default UI as well. I don't run out of buttons because of InnerSpace and it's own internal macros/keymaps. Nothing has to be bound in game..and if it is bound in game it's overridden...so I have about half of my abilities that are keymapped on 2 bars [the ones which I need to see cooldowns mostly] and I just remember the rest of my buttons. I also do not use /castsequence or /castrandom macros...everything, that I think is useful, is bound to it's own binding.
I use the default bars.
72 buttons is plenty for all the keybinds I want.
Especially considering I can have a macro on "Q" which uses normal press, Alt Press or Control Press.
At one point I was using Mazzle UI, which is extremely artistic, but had 130 addons in the compilation.
I got tired of looking for fixes each patch.
These days I run with a few addons I really like and generally go for a more minimalist approach.
I use Auctioneer, Deadly Boss Mods, Diamond Thread Meter, Dot Timer, Jamba, Move Anything, oRA2, Postal, Prat.
That's probably about it.
Each is well maintained.
I miss Mazzle UI. Such a pretty and useful set of addons. Too bad the author quit WoW and stopped maintaining it.Quote:

I currently use Dominos. It's easy to configure and easy to bind keys to buttons.
