Biggest thing about the WoW mods wasn't so much their aesthetics as their functionality.
As a healer, with grid-like mods, you could program the group window where if you LEFT CLICKED on a target - it would cast a fast heal, or if you RIGHT CLICKED on a target it would cast a heal-bomb.
You could also program middle buttons, etc on your mouse. This made healing quite easy from a "whack-a-mole" mash button perspective.
There's something similar to this in EQ2 in that you can click a CURE button under a name to cure the target, and there's even a mod that modifies the group window to add buttons that you can click for certain actions, but grid was just easier in that you didn't have to look for small buttons, you just clicked right/left/middle mouse button.
