Neeto, thats much needed, I can finally fill my ABs with Naggenflogger and other fun and stupid stuff to play with while waiting for raid pulls

I love this!!! I used to use Bartender, but went back to the built-in bars. This'll mean that my keybinds for stances for my druid etc. will apply to my aspects, so that's awesome! Less macros to worry about.

aspect bar is neat, though will make things a bit harder for me...I keep my AotD and AotV macro'd together , and all my other aspects are on another (cheap easy macro /castsequence Aspect of the Dragonhawk (rank#), Aspect of the Viper (Rank#).)
and the others are like that but with all the other aspects rather then just the two.

Also, I've tried some other UI's but really prefer the basic wow UI. It works for me.

Hmmm... I'm sure that's going to mess with my Bartender4 addon. lol

This!

But good for the beginner player who either has no idea about addons or is just starting to play with them. Its good to have distinct bars to help with button overload .

I've always thought that the Blizz UI with launch was so amazingly borked I couldn't believe it launched like that... Its still got a long ways to go IMO before it gets "as good as" something like Bartender (assuming it even wants to be) with size/placement/extra art modifiers.

It looks like the aspect bar has eaten the pet bar. Has the pet bar been moved, or turned into something else?

Except for an all-in-one inventory like Bagnon. Every couple patch days, when they break Bagnon, I'm horrified at just how many little bag windows you have to open up when you're viewing your entire bank and inventory at the same time.

In the default UI the pet bar got shuffled over to the right side, above the bags

So am I some giant noob for not using any addons (save for Recount, NPC Scan and Silverdragon) or UI thingies? I've used WoW's default UI for five+ years and have never had an issue with it. In fact, the several screen prints and videos and such I've seen of addons and UIs look nasty to me. Guess I'm used to WoW's sub-par swill.

I don't use many keybinds (basically I use numbers 1-6 and that's it) or macros, except very basic ones (like to cast Rapid Fire, Kill Command, Call of the Wild together). I pretty much fly with what shipped with the game, and have done just fine. It seems like there's this general sentiment of, "Only noobs don't use keybinds or addons" (not from you guys, just in general on other forums and in-game and such) and I don't understand why. Different people have different playstyles. I have people tell me all the time that using such-and-such is so much easier, but maybe I don't want things to be easier. I don't want some addon or macro pushing all my buttons for me (booooriiiing). I don't want DBM telling me when to look for what, because God help you on patch day when the addons aren't updated. It's like no one knows how to watch for things in raids on their own! "Nooo! We don't have DBM to tell us not to stand in the fire!!!" I like to do things on my own and resent when people try to make me do otherwise.

Wow, kinda went off on a tangent there, eh? lol, sorry!

Edit: I suppose to make my post on-topic, I will say that I like the aspect bar. That will free up more space on the right for more mounts and pets.

Um..yay Aspect Bar?
I just have Carbonite (I get lost...alot), Silverdragon, NPC scan, the one that turns off Cheetah if I get hit and the one that tells me "hey, you have mana, turn off Viper"
I am happy with anything that takes stuff off my action bars. I have all of them up and they're all full.

I'm glad that these addons exist for everyone who loves them. I usually don't bother.

and like any software... Changes done means new addons to create. You will never see addon's disappear.

If hard core people ever saw how i play i think they'd have a heart attack. I don't even use the regular 1-6... I click for all my casting and targeting, and still manage to whoop most of the dps in raids. =D

Being a clicker doesn't make you bad, either. I was a clicker for er...probably 3-4 years? I only first started using 1-6 when I was healing because I stood in one spot. When I went feral, I went back to clicking. For some reason, using keybinds is easier for me when I'm a caster or hunter. It's incredibly difficult for me when I'm melee, and I go back to the clicking style. Neither are better or worse than the other, just do whatever you're comfortable with and succeed the most at.

I'm a clicker too... I can only use the keybinds when I'm standing still.. I'm more comfortable moving when I use the keyboard than the mouse.

I do fine to by just clicking.

I'm not saying Clicking is bad. I simply meant that most Hardcore raiders (who almost all use macros and keybinds etc.) would look at me playing and go "WTF!? That's not how you play properly!" while forgetting that they once played like that as well. That's what I meant. =D
