... a "non-Tank" answer for "so and so"?
I mean if it works, use it. What is the big deal?

And if they don't want to use Tank what's the big deal in them asking?

There are functions in those plugins that can't be turned off, or if they can, can't be done easily, and those functions either duplicate or conflict with other plugins those people may be using.
Also, some people just don't like the stigma they feel using plugins known for UCM. Whether you or I agree with this is irrelevant, some people feel that way and don't want to use El Tank or Lifetank.
Edit #3: Some people also like having an array of specialized plugins that can do more than an all-in-one (jack of all trades, master of none).

I prefer an al-la-carte setup to using one persons view of how every plugin should function. My feeling is that an all in one plugin is more likely to have critical bugs because it's just more code for the developer to maintain. Just my opinion though, not based on any concrete evidence.

I like the ala cart as well, i used to run 22 plugins. I do run el tank just to get *some* of it's features - but I would rather not have all that overhead going. And, it's too much tempation to set it on ACM, it doesn't feel wrong so much as lazy.
Having said all that, it is a great plugin, well written and supported. A model for all plugin authors to follow.

22 plugins? Sheeze
I run 1 or 2 ... ElTank if I'm hunting ... LifeTank if I'm camping. The only other one I bother with is Treestats (when it is working).
For the buff bot, ElTank and Virindi Booter.

I find tank makes a bit of lag, espeacilly on slow connections.
IT does so much, whisch is great, but i only use 10% of it
IMHO its faster to use infinity and BS/2. Thats all i use,.. all i want.
But i use tank, because right now its the best thing out there.... just wish it would make looting profiles!
