The grid and the baseline are useful reference. Curves corrrections are very small, because small deviations from the baseline have great impact on the image change. So, when I made a simple S curve to increase contrast, I'm playing... within some pixels! A denser grid and a baseline is useful. I'm using Photoshop as well (check th figures of my article on curves http://www.andreaolivotto.com/photo_retouch_05.html), and when you are used to its curve window... I think it's a simple improvement. If you think it could be distracting (for an inexperienced used), make it configurable via two checkboxes.
