I try to keep my UI as clean and minimalistic as possible without altering the default UI setup too much.

Generally I just make everything on the ui smaller. You get pretty used to it. Then when you make an alt, everything looks like:

I'm not trying to troll, but I don't see how this is efficient at all. The SMN bar especially just looks like randomly placed icons. The same stuff I fit on 3 bars you have stretched across 4.
What is the purpose of the vertical bars on the other setups? It does look kind of cool, but I can't see any actual function to it.
@Heretic
For the SMN one I have everything close to Ruin 2 which is my keybind 1 (all my keybinds are the instant cast spells for mobility purposes). I use 3 bars so I can keep all the main skills at a closer clicking distance rather than spread them down less bars. Then it's grouped by skills you would use together, Rouse, Spur, Enkindle. Swift Cast, Raise, Tri-Disaster. Your main set of dots placed in casting order, (Bio 2, Miasma, Bio + the Reverse order)
The other class UI are arranged in a similar fashion. CD damage skills, AOE, buffs.
All centered around the main combos and skill set. That way you can pick everything up with your perifial vision while focusing on the fights.
The Warrior one I think is cool. To easily keep track of what combo you are using (Slash, Enmity, Defense) I separated them all into their own lines and then you have all your various skills surrounding it. Defensive CD, Damage Buffs, AOE skills all in a priority order surrounding the main combos.
Sorry I should have stated it's more for, efficiency of playing the class.

Yeah was sad that this game doesn't have (is it standard now?) the standard other games do and saves your UI as a set name, and then you can reload that UI when you create a new character. Or I am not seeing it.
MANTASTIC: I got 1017 problems, but playing FFXIV ain't one.

My UI D:
I've cleaned my UI up a lot in comparison to my first post. I tried putting the party list to the right of my character, but I realized it's just uncomfortable to glance to the right to look at it. I figured it would be easier for tanking (so I can see the aggro bars under people's classes), but again, it brings me back to the whole "one place is good for one class but not for another" predicament. I just keep trying to look at the top left to see my party list or health bar when I'm on my SCH. Trying to get used to it is making me a bad healer so I think I'll just not try to fix what isn't broken. xD
Hunt macros are what's above the chat.
The enemy list is supposed to be higher up, but it keeps moving down no matter what I do for some reason. It keeps its horizonal position, but every time I zone or restart the game, it goes back to the seemingly default vertical position. Not fun in the Towers.

There is no apostrophe in Au Ra.
Stop adding one three years later.
