Guy I know ran ShowEQ on a cheap laptop running linux. It was neat, but not all that great. It was nice for finding rare spawns in big zones (and explained why said guy was known as the master of Trak's Teeth), but it didn't show what drops the mob had, just what it was carrying (useful enough with some mobs, of course).
I didn't see it as worth the hassle excepting the rare zones where it made monetary sense (again, TT). In raid situations, it only marginally helped, and you took the chance that a GM was watching your raid's chat channel. I was a Guide for a while and watched it happen. It's funny as hell to see someone say something in /guildsay and then act innoncent when you tell them to stop.
Say ShowDAoC too. It was damned near worthless though as DAoC only shows the client what it can sense within the "bubble". Your range is shown fine, but everything beyodn it is dark. Mythic was much more competent about their method of defeating packet sniffers. Damned shame that the game was boring...
I left EQ almost a year ago. I keep myself from going back by hitting my old guild's message boards once a month or so. The politics and bickering that hits the boards is enough to remind me why I quit.
