Looks like, from this article, WoW has again taken another popular addon and developed their own version.
Take a look.
Yeah so?
1) Pointless to post it here because there is already an article about it on the blog
2) 90% of the blizzard UI are from player made addons they integrated.

If anything quest helper will become BETTER. It will simply overwrite Blizzard's front end, while using the same back-end API calls. In other words, QH will become more (as in 100%) accurate, while retaining all of it's functionality.

This.

Giving the addon devs more API to work with for tracking quests just makes it easier to make the addons. Any questing addon will now be able to read data directly from the server instead having to make their own database of quests that take a lot of memory and pace! Consider it a upgrade for both default UI users an the addon community. ;)

As a note, this style that Blizzard is implementing is NOT taken from QH. It's taken from Warhammer Online's quest system.

Questhelper is dirt. Carbonite for the win XD
Sorry to troll, I'm just passionate about my hatred for QH, so what better place to express it than a QH thread.
On a more related note, the new Blizz feature will significantly reduce your addon memory usage, whether you use QH, Carbonite or Tour Guide. I know, I know, memory usage does not equal lag, but it does affect load times and can really hurt a computer with a fail CPU - I have an Intel Atom (/puke)

No, you're totally right. On characters who have completed a lot more quests than characters who haven't (e.g. my main versus an alt), the load impact of QH is
significant
. I will be glad to be able to (hopefully) just leave it enabled for everyone and just toggle off the display when I don't want to use it.
Perhaps I'll try Carbonite too -- but for now it's an ain't-broke-don't-fix-it type situation. Same reason I'm still using SCT over MSBT.
