Is it bad that I don't really care about this mod? I've been playing Oblivion with loads of mods and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not sure I'd do it all again just in a different engine.
Have they kept everything the same story /quest wise?

Yeah I think the story is the same. They've simply ported the game over to Skyrim Special Edition and improved the graphics, landscaping, city, interiors, etc.
I don't think I've played it for almost a decade so I'm quite looking forward to it.

Morrowind music has to be the most memorable piece of music from any game for me.

Looking forward to this, played them all many times and recently started Morrowind again with the OpenMW engine which works really well and nice not to have a crash every few hours 
.
Also reinstalled oblivion with a few mods, still such a great game.
I do like Skyrim but somehow never really enjoyed it as much as the previous ones.

True. Skyrim doesn't feel as great as Oblivion.
But my only issue with all the single player ES games are the ESO is so much much better, especially the character designs, that cannot go back to the ugly designs of the single player ES.
This is how I remember Oblivion looking anyway (via my rose-tinted memory and from not revisiting the game for > 12 years)
Perhaps I'd be in for a rude awakening if I fired up the original now.
Same for me.
I thought it was showing the original then would drastically change to the new engine part way through
I would have to see them side by side to know its different.

Here you go.
Depends where you looked, interiors in Oblivion were amazing back then and hold up well even now, especially the lighting in the Aleid ruins...This is how I remember Oblivion looking anyway (via my rose-tinted memory and from not revisiting the game for > 12 years

The overworld is terrible though, even for it's day, easily some of the worst graphics from the past few gens
Elder Scrolls has always been like that though, amazing interiors awful exteriors, Skyrim included.

Skyrim is the only one I've played, and loved. Looks like this could be right up my street. When's it going to be available?

I reckon a heavily modded Oblivion is what I'm remembering, i.e:
Taken from this tweak / graphics mod guide last updated in 2010:

Gotta love retro 800x600 screenshots.

One of things I missed going from Oblivion to Skyrim was the ability to craft your own spells any chance this feature will be in the mod or are they bound by Skyrim game mechanics?
Genuinely stoked by this... I'm terrible at finishing games & never finished any es game... Given the parlous nature of recent offerings.. this and the morrowind remake are very high on my gaming list!
Jus watched this as well.. we all take gaming for granted but sometimes you have to take a step back to respect the people involved with projects like this:

I just bought Oblivion and could easily get into it. What's the opinion from those who have played it, would it be worth modding or should I wait for this Skyblivion thing being released?

No idea when the full skyrim mod will come out so you have Oblivion now. Mod it and play it now.
Modding Oblivion piece by piece is not fun and very time consuming IIRC. I'd look for a total overhaul mod that can get you 80-90% of the best stuff in one go with maximum stability.

Looks good. Not sure it mods graphics though, just seems to say it has better looking creatures. If you want to go all out on graphics, this seems a to be a pretty thorough guide/mod list if there aren't any overhauls combining a bunch of them:
