Not only does it list *all your spells/abs/ws, it actually categorizes them, so you can immediately access a specific action.
by saying we should settle for it... you're implying it isn't ideal.
I definitely respect your opinion... I just can't see how Macro use is different in either case
Macros and an Action bar is no different than Macros and a Menu
You can also arrange the action bar to help alleviate any confusion regarding what you want to use
Lastly... using the actual Menu instead of the Action Bar cause you to spend a lot more time staring at text and not at the action going on... the Character and MOB models look incredible...
