The mods said they would reinstate this post, but apparently ran into technical difficulties.

Oh, I don't care about his personal preferences. I only responded to the
*factual* claim "its functionality is simply unparalleled", which is
untrue. He didn't like being corrected and got pissy about it.

You didn't say you "don't care about CPU usage", you said, "as for your memory
and log parsing comment, Decursive only uses about 800-900 KiB of memory".
Unless you're swapping, memory is irrelevant (unless the addon is generating
tons of garbage, which does ultimately affect performance).

It's a matter of principle. Running two addons that do the same thing is
pointless and wasteful.

If you had taken 30 seconds to watch that extremly short video, you would have
avoiding putting your foot in your mouth ("Vuhdo is a bit nicer as it actually
counts down the HoT timers instead of just blinking a color and what-not", etc.)

Yes, you already said you use redundant mods because you're confused, but you
don't need to pretend you're speaking for the OP. You said *you* still use
decursive because "its functionality is simply unparalleled".
You thought Decursive did something Grid/VuhDo/etc. do not. I corrected that
mistake. That's all. You could have said "oh cool, I didn't know that"
but instead you tried to *defend* a factually wrong position.

Healing is hectic, period. This thread is for players who are trying to gain
control over that chaos, by finding tools that improve their efficiency.
Your argument about handedness fails, because click-casting doesn't *add* any
complexity -- you still have the exactly same number of key combinations to
remember -- you just transfer some of the complexity to the right-hand. For
instance, instead of hitting 3 for Nourish they click the right mouse button.

I don't really care about your opinion of Grid, I care about you spreading
misinformation about tools you never learned how to use. It's like someone
saying they hate Windows because you can't resize windows; you don't respond to
that with "I guess we disagree" you respond "you CAN resize windows,
your information is wrong."

I think that's the most nonsensical bit of any forum post I've read this month.
For the record, I'm Horde on a PVP server.
