The praise is generally for the way ESO housing functions as opposed to the art style (though the art style has its fans as well).

You can own every available housing location in the game if you want because it's all instanced. There's more variety in locations and layouts, essentially being pieces of the game world instead of isolated wards. No need for floating glitches - items can be placed and rotated freely not to mention resized. Game subscribers have higher item placement limits than we get in some of the housing locations (but those who play but aren't subscribed have lower limits to work with).

Now imagine that with the FFXIV art style. Wouldn't you consider it an improvement?
