You don't need the data sets unless you're interested in exploring the Greek or Latin texts. On it's own it's useful for entering dictionary words in their declined/conjugated forms and it finding the correct entry(ies) in the dictionary.

For the data sets: In all honesty, just torrent it. What you're looking for is TLG /PHI/ Cd-rom_E, which is the Thesaurus Linguae Gracae and the Latin texts.

Wow, you're right. It does come with some data out of the box after all. Its UI isn't all that it could be, though.
