I know myself wont be using any addon maybe the one i like from ffxi windower display how much EXP i'm getting. The only reason i hate addons is in wow to do anything like raids they make you download addon A,B,C / D to even do there events i hope that never happen in ffxiv if it does then w/e i play my way and learn how to play the game without using addon i did it in wow and in ffxi i can do it in ffxiv.
Addons are just a crutch for those lacking skill and intuition.

In Call of Duty, if you use an aimbot it's called hacking because it automates the entire skillset the gameplay is based on.

In FFXIV, if players use addons which automate the skill-set of the gameplay, then that too should be deemed "hacking".

There is a difference between a helpful UI and something that plays the game for you, and sometimes I think addons cross that line.

The dev team should be the only people that get to define the skillset of the game. Addons/hacks which automate that skillset should not be allowed.

Customising the layout should be the only thing that is allowed.
