DUF still has a taint issue; it has things I don't need and would love to turn off but it's not modular; while it has a level of configurability that certainly required divine inspiration to create...I'm always wondering from one patch to the next a) if it'll work and b) if it's still going to be supported if it breaks. This is something of an issue b/c while I've taken over mods I want to keep that have fallen out of use (but privately and re-release to the public) I've only got so much free time and that Sword of Damocles is a big turn-off.
Pitbull has a number of issues, some I can live with and some that I'm adapting to out of necessity but still hate nonetheless. The biggest is that the party frames are not independently placable: you place one and the other 3 are stuck to it, which is a bit of a problem if you want to bracket them either side of the target window. Its modularity is great but it's placement options of frames within a unitframe is...also kinda problematic and I miss DUF's control options here more than I can put into words.

That's what I'm doing for WotLK. I'm dumping Mazzle (see Sword of Damocles above) and coding my own backplate-UI, adopting functionality from other mods that I like and dropping the overhead cost since I don't need the massive end-user configuration overhead (gotta love dropping 18k of code for 30 lines).
HOWEVER, fun as that has been, a unitframe mod is...not a small, do-it-in-an-evening project
I might wind up doing it eventually if I can't find something that fits my needs but it's not something I contemplate without a fair bit of trepidation.
