Just beware, if you want to use ElvUI, install it first before bringing more addons into the fold because it doesn't always play nice. I particularly love how the action bars behave in ElvUI, and its built-in addons mean you won't have to fuss with other addons like OmniCC. There are class-specific setups that emphasise the interface elements most important to your role, and the settings have a ton of options to play with. One of my favorite parts about ElvUI is that it comes with an in-game setup process that'll help tailor the UI to suit your needs.

But even if you decide to stick with manually updating it, what ElvUI brings to the table makes the sacrifice more than worth it. Historically, you've always had to install and update ElvUI manually, and while this isn't too much of a chore, there are a number of newer addon managers popping up that allow you to update it along with your other addons. The tradeoff, of course, is that you're also getting rid of the fantasy-themed UI altogether. ElvUI replaces every single user interface element with a sleek redesign that is a lot more modern and readable.
