Not a lot of members can do oUF layouts and instead us Stuf or Pitbull.
I also prefer using BF as making skins is much easier to me :>

I've wanted to upload several of my previous layouts, the only problem being that I jump for UI to UI almost every week. So updating for me is a big no sometimes ;D

Same, but somehow I find a way to be satisfied for a short period, so I can upload. However, I really don't need to do that anymore because I've finally unlocked reflux's power. Multiple profiles (I used to only use reflux for installation purposes), so you can switch from UI creation to the other very easily. I created a new layout yesterday, and I don't feel any regret about tossing the other layout because it's still there. All I need to do is type /reflux switch <profile name> and BAM! Lol I've never been so excited about UI creation.

I use it as well, but there are times when you load up a profile and load up your previous one, your profile can be erased. Which it has for me several times.(yes Iknow how to save)

Lol the addon is the devil until you figure it out. Make sure you type "/reflux save addons" after making changes to a profile, and before you switch to another profile. This happened to me all day yesterday, fortunately I stuck with the addon and figured it out.

Just remember, backup your work a lot . After each major change, do a /reload ui, and copy your Interface and WTF folders to a backup directory. Even multiple backup directories for different stages of UI development, as that way if you want to revert something back to the way you had it a few days ago, you still have that copy lying around.

Svn or Git-archives are nearly a must for software developement.
https://github.com/ or http://code.google.com/ are pretty good hosts.

I'm only making backup copies of files if I know a major change is coming. Otherwise I'm just editing it all the way to "commit-ready".

And a lot of this.

Don't forget that we (MMOUI) have SVN and GIT repos as well for our members to host your projects.
