I always throw this out when these questions come up.

WTF do you need 255 character macros for? (Coming from a guy who's done most heroics and karazhan with minimal macros)
I can think of some things:
- To have a complete "accept all" macro.
- To have complex healing macros with modifiers, so you have 1 button for healing with different behaviors and that doesn't heal when the group composition changed and another healer has taken place. My shamans have a healing macro that stops when the priest is in the team. It goes more or less like this:

/stopmacro [target=mypriest,exists,alive]
/target [target=focustarget,exists,help] [target=focus,exists] [ ]
/cast [nomod] Greater Heal
/cast [mod:shift] Lesser Heal
/cast [mod:ctrl] Chain Heal
Of course this is well within the macro limit(got about 20-30chars left) and there are some white space that can be removed, but I'd rather be extending this to such an extend that I can have "alt" modifiers for self heal and I'd rather not have the /target in but have the cast macros to have targetting embedded in them.
