What better for you? (Fubar vs Titianbar)

[richwarf]

Silly thing but it is a great question to ask you all

What do you use, Fubar or Titanbar?
(if there is a 3rd kind of bar then please vote other)

I could be mistaken here, but I heard a rumor somewhere the FuBar was going away as of patch 3.2 -- don't know if that's true or not.

That said, I don't use any bars, though I personally much prefer Titan over FuBar from back in the day that I was using bars.

Have no real preference, using fubar mostly because I could find the plugins I "needed" faster then for Titan..

Used to have Fubar at the top for ages but moved the bar to the bottom, looks a bit less "cluttered" when the top console is hidden.

Also removed some unneeded (not that any plugin for the bar is really needed) stuff.. Only use online guildies, friends, new mail, time online and cash..

Using Fubar! Was a bit frightened when the update to Fubar came as late as it did (didn't work in 3.2 at first), but cknight updated for us finally. I love Fubar and hope it never goes away! It and plugins for it are more configurable than Titan Panel or any of its plugins. I tried it on patch day /shudder. Never again.

Why be tied down to a single bar? DataBroker addons are the way forward!

Speaking of data broker addons...

<!-- begin not so very subliminal message -->
I'm still waiting for someone who can code a libDataBroker plugin for nUI that ties those addons into nUI's upper console and lower dashboard.

FuBar died sometime ago. :-) It is being kept on life support by volunteers. That being said, it will likely be kept alive for sometime because of the large number of people using it.

Most new addons are being written against the open LDB standard which allows for user choice in what sort of display they want, whether that is a bar, lego blocks, etc.

Fubar fans should look at DockingStation, Chocolate Bar, NinjaPanel, etc if they're looking for a work-alike.

The "dies in 3.2" is because of a change to the Rock library that Fubar uses (along with Cowtip, and some other other of ckknight's addons). I believe there was a fairly trivial patch to fix it, though, that is probably already out there.
