There currently isn't mutch benefits since API is not that wide yet.
- It allows you to send your emails securely all-the-way to sendgrid (witch sends it for your), so your email, credentials etc... goes throught SSL.
- It provides hooks so your own modules may alter keys of the sent message, example implement hook and check if email were sent by module xx, then add domain as a key to make tracking easier.
- It also provides you an API (there are some issues, witch i reported back to SendGrid) allowing you to get information about failed deliveries.
I like the idea of integrating with the SendGrid API for information on email deliveries / etc...
Does this mean you intend to continue development on this module on-going? (trying to gauge the life expectancy of a module like this one)
Yes, my intentions are to continue developing this module. My excuse has been issues i have hit with api authentication. I will test it and see if it has been patched already.
Currently feature i have been working on is to get list of bounces, it should work fine currently as far your password doesn't include certain fancy characters.
If there is feature request i am happy to implement it. I have been requested for D6 port of module and that is something i may do also.

And more will come later... ;)
Hopefully these answer your question.
