So I look down and in the heat of battle with three blood elfs, it's like - "which one is me, which is them, etc etc."
Like anything new, you have to expect it to take some getting used to.

For starters, you and your pet are always on the left of the minimap, the target and ToT are always on the right... your party or raid members will be outside of that. I should hasten to add that the unit panel works like the info panel, as well... you can click it to change modes. I'll also add that the Beta 4 does not include 15, 20, 25 or 40 main raid frames (they're in the 5.0 currently under development).

While I am not a clicker (I use keybinds for everything when I play), nUI is designed with clickers in mind and for that reason, uses patterns in locating unit frames and makes a point of locating the unit frames close to the action buttons. It's this use of patterns that dictates to some degree why the unit frames are laid out as they are and I suspect your eye will adjust to it pretty quickly.

Just keep in mind that it's new, so by definition, it will feel different.
