Dont use the Curse Client simply until they fix it.
I'd be using WAU, but it's constantly crashing now...and whether or not I use an updater, I'm getting the published mod, which isn't working right for me...

At this point, with Curse client not working there isn't an updater to use. You will have to manually update your addons. Just don't load the 3.0.2 versions until Tuesday. Not all will work with 2.4.3.
Its not that bad. Sign up for a curse account (its free) and add all your addons to faves. Then you only have to access this page to see if there is an update and you know which ones to manually update.
PS: You may have heard about wowmatrix. If you care about the authors that put their time and sweat into their projects, don't use it. I liken wowmatrix to the use of sweatshops. Ace pays for the bandwidth used to download but only wowmatrix earns the income. Not a fair deal at all.
Not exactly, no. The original author (Nymbia) has vanished. Several other people have committed additions and fixes in his absence, but nobody has taken over as official maintainer. However, I don't see any need at all to switch to a different addon, as Quartz does everything I need, and works just fine. If it starts breaking and not getting fixed, then I might start looking around, but for the time being there's nothing wrong with it. I probably use at least two dozen addons that are no longer developed, with no ill effects.
I was coming here hoping to find an answer to the very same question that was answered here. Unfortunately, the above stated is no longer really true.
Various things don't function correctly (in my case, the swing timer for hunter auto shot freaks out sometimes, randomly flickering. and others have posted numerous issues here and in the Curse comments).
So I'll ask the same question again here - does anyone know of a decent replacement (for the core features - a universal cast bar with skinning features, GCD and swing timers), or is someone actively taking over?
The following issue has to do with swing timer portion of Quartz. It is unfortunately common to all swing timers due to changes in Slam and I believe Steady Shot. See below:
This addon has issues when warriors use Slam. Since Slam no longer resets the swing timer, any use of it will cause the timer to be off until the next autoswing. Here is an example with a 3.5s 2H:
* I autoswing. The timer shows 3.5s and counts down.
* With 3.0s, I start a slam, which has a 1.5s cast time untalented.
* I perform Slam with essentially 1.5s left on the swing timer.
* The swing timer reset to 3.5s. This is the part that is now wrong.
* About 1.5s later, I autoswing. The swing timer resets again, showing 3.5s left. It is now in sync again.
This may also be an issue with hunters and steady shot as I believe it follows similar behavior. Both Slam and (I believe) Steady Shot now push back the autoattack/autoshot in the case of overlap instead of consuming it. Let me know if you have any questions or if the description did not make any sense.
The four swing timers that I have tried - quartz, ld50_abar, slammer, and attack bar timer - all have the same issue. I actually tried them all at the same time on my warrior on a practice dummy. They all had the exact same behavior as I have described above.
I'm afraid my issue is more complex than simply not noticing the removal of auto-shot clipping.
What I'm seeing is that in some fights (I believe it's mostly on bosses, from my observation, which is weird all by itself) is that autoshot bar randomly seems to reset back to zero mid-interval. This is not actually related to auto-shots going off.
This may seem trivial in the light of other, more serious, issues. But as a newb here I noticed the wiki-link in the very first post not working anymore. I suggest linking to old.wowace.com or moving the contents the a Page??
Not really a big issue, but annoying. I use surfaces to skin the bars and I have them all set to the same texture (healbot in this case) but when I reload the UI or relog they default back to the Blizzard texture. When I open the options pane the healbot one is still selected though and if I reselect it they all snap back to the correct texture. Like I said just annoying not addon breaking :)

When change Border in seting Player, to other, cast bar is changed, its OK, but when i reloadui or complete game this changed seting is lost and Quartz seting default - Blizard tooltip >:(.
Is there an option for "only your buffs" with the buff bars, because I'm not seeing debuffs on my pet or friendly units, and I have "debuffs" turned on.
Is anyone maintaining this still? Anyone use AzCastBar? (how does it compare to Quartz?)
A couple of issues:
- on my Hunter, the swing timer seems to be broken such that it operates completely at random. It sometimes counts up when I'm not in combat but other people in the raid are, and it seems to reset its count in mid-cast even though my Auto Shot didn't actually get interrupted.
- the flight module no longer works properly with InFlight. It seems to show a 2 second timer at least some of the time, but that's it.
ACB is very good, though much lighter in function than Quartz. I used most of Quartz's features, and found that I didn't miss any moving to ACB (aside from the default colors being all pastel shades. Bleah.).

WAU is dead. Download the zip from http://wowace.com/projects/quartz/files/

Can confirm this, it's quite annoying.
Ver r9.
Also, I'd like to request a "Pet" buffbar.
