It's not as feature rich, but it gives me the must haves (quest levels, sounds for quest progress and completion, and output to MSBT).

I'm still not finding anything in a broker plug-in that works like this. I found replacements for most of the others, although some of them I have to use multiple broker plugins to get the same functionality. I'm going to have to play around with displays to get what I want also. Carousel, Fortress, and Bazooka look promising right now.

I check Tek's github page and Curse's LDB page about once a month to see how it's coming along. I have been considering trying the FuBar converter, but I haven't heard much from people using it, so I've held off. I'm not what you'd call a first adopter, heh. My list of must-have fubar plug-ins includes: guildfu friendsfu babelfu moneyfu garbagefu questsfu (poor thing has been dying a slow death) volumefu kungfu experiencefu heyfu factionsfu and durabilityfu I also use a plugin for VuhDo and one for Omen. The rest stay in a button bag. I still haven’t transitioned to LDB, because the last time I tried it (around patch 3.1 release) they didn’t have equivalents for some of my favorite plug ins.

Even it's creator has switched over to LDB. That said I kept FuBar around a lot longer than I really wanted to beause there were plugins I really liked. I was able to finally transition away from FuBar a few weeks ago and gained approx 10 FPS; not an insignificant increase. FuBar is depreciated. Even it’s creator has switched over to LDB.
