Could anyone explain to me how VisualThemes brings anything to actually benefit the player? I don't see anything on how it saves screen real-estate, improves processing performance, parses data in a more human friendly manner, help with organization, etc.

I mean mods like Baggins beautify the bag frames if you wish, but would that be the main draw for the development of the mod? It's primary features involve how it actually improves the user experience. Would we not consider mods that make your client look like your toon is wearing max gear with some model swapping as "big thing" as VisualThemes? Not only that, but it really only does one simple thing to windows...a fade and resize transition.

I'm all for tiny addons that implement simple things that are great...like auto-vendoring greys, auto-repairing, removing useless gossip, and the like, but generally an improvement to the blizzard UI that is significant is likely going to require either a full-blown UI mod, or lots of time customizing your UI with many small mods (that don't only run in the background).
