I mean it's one of those things that makes it impossible to go back once you started. You never used it so I guess it's hard for to picture how it's like using.
I haven't played 11 in 8 years so things may changed but as I recall you had quite limited macrolines and equipsets so if you played something that required a lot of gear swapping to maximize your job, like casters back in teh day at least and some DPS with different sets, then Gearswap and even basic function in Windower was a godsent.

But I'm not here to argue about a old game, just my experience with it from playing it a decade with windower.
