Possibility to open FFXIV up to a moddable UI?

[Zenairis]

I still don't understand why people are concerned over the point of "You have to have this mod or else" that was never a issue in FFXI even though there was plenty of mods in existence that made the game much easier.

I was never in any scenario forced or needed to ever use mods even when I was in one of the top endgame LS's of my server and that was never the case.

Edit: I would like to see some minor UI improvements like showing party or alliance member's tech points and the ability to toggle which of the two you can see, or some way to tell what enfeebles spells a monster currently has on them or what enhancing + enfeebles a player currently has on them. I disagreed with people using programs for this in FFXI, although I hope to possibly see these in UI mods when SE makes it available.
