I think for any setting I made myself, I wouldn't use it. It just contained too much stuff that I didn't need or find interesting, especially with alignment planes and the like.The 4E cosmology however works so beautifully for me that I take it kinda as a default option. I am even thinking about how to apply it to Monte Cook's Arcane Evolved/Diamond Throne setting.And it's not just the cosmology. Also the story of the Dawn War appeals to me. I kinda want to have devils, demons and maybe even angels and nature spirits in my fantasy setting, but I prefer distant gods. The idea that there was a big war between the gods and the Primordials is just cool. And I can get the distant gods easily by saying the Primal Spirits aided the Gods but demanded them to stay away from the natural world, so far that the gods and the entire story of the Dawn War and gods becomes closer to speculation and myth than established theories on the nature of the world and the divine.</blockquote>
