Never listen to anyone who uses this attitude in their advice.
Every single raid i have been in where the leader uses dbm, im always hearing : "Bollocks! timers are off"...meanwhile bigwigs is pinging events off as they happen.
The configuration of dbm and bigwigs is EXACTLY the same, with one minor difference: bigwigs has more options.
If you're already using ace addons, bigwigs is better for you in terms of keep memoery down.
Also, I don't think dbm benefits from sharedMedia.

Your demonsrtrating two maybe three things here :
+ that most users who CBF with more options are most typicallly the type who never update their addons.
+ that bigwigs and it's larger team of coders and community of testers provides far more accuracy and update release cycle than dbm can
+ that bigwigs really isnt hard to set up. in fact you don't need to do anything to it after installation.

You really need to explain this point in more detail, because last time i used DBM the choice for configuring bars were extremly limited compared to bigwigs.
dbm doesnt even have slash commands for creating custom timers, it expects you to open the ui for everything.
