I have 3 hotbars for most classes. Once it goes beyond that, my mind = this is horrible.

I started playing MMO's with Ultima Online. I liked the drag 'spell icons' onto your screen instead of having assigned hot bars. Macros were generally pretty simple affairs. It took me years to get used to "accepting" hot bars. I still don't like them or the way they look in any mmorpg I've ever played.
