D2 was very moddable, as was the original Diablo. Just because they don't support mods or provide tools, doesn't mean they can't be modded. There are D2 mods out there that completely remap most of the levels throughout the game, completely replace all items and item images, completely replace all abilities and effects, all bosses, a few mods with tens of thousands of cube recipes.. etc. You can even get set items that turn you into Mephisto once the set is collected. Just because its not supported, doesn't mean it will not be modded.
SC2/WC3 was so moddable because of the layout used for the levels. They are RTS games, they are VERY easy to mod. The editor provided isn't any different than what blizzard used to actually design the melee and campaign levels. Doing this with the Diablo series is a bit different.
D3 will be modded. Blizzard has said that its "no less moddable than D2, even though mods aren't supported".
