Greyhawk is mythologized as basically being D&D before a lot of options got added meaning it kept to the perceived basics. Realms is viewed as all the option toggles on, where drow rangers who aren't That Guy meet dinosaur people. Now both perceptions are wildly incorrect (as said, GH can be gonzo and FR is fairly traditional at it's core) but there are people who try to force this division, usually to beatify old school style play (or the illusion of it) while vilifying the excesses of new play. Personally, I think GH is a better fit for the default sample setting because so much of D&D proper nouns come from it and it's far less fully detailed than Faerun.</blockquote>
