you can autosort without windower. ;p I use windower macroes because 5 of my 6 jobs use more then 6 lines of macroes and its more convenient for me. I use plasticsurgeon also because I'm sick of looking at my fat elvaan butt! I like EXPWatch and I like the ranged thing for COR. Yarnball is nice to see when buffs are wearing like haste refresh etc especially useful in Dynamis so you can keep track easier and tanks happy! (this is more for my mage job)

Alot of the plugins I consider cheats and I don;t use them and some are autoloaded when you get windower, I jsut disable them.
