I also wouldn't disagree with your analysis of the different approaches to the world. The Greyhawk campaign material with the map is presented as if it was written by an in world historical scholar. For me that is part of the charm. However, my view of why post 2e has had forgotten realms be the number 1 popular setting is that it is more to do with quantity rather than quality of presentation. But I like it that way as well - it means collecting all the  stuff is not to expensive and leaves lots of space for my campaigns to explore.Here's a slightly off topic question from a guy who understands the love of Greyhawk ( which IMO has been explained in the above posts). Why the love for Ravenloft? I mean no disrespect and I get the odd horror module set in a campaign world but when I read the Ravenloft setting about 20+ years ago it just seemed a bit of a disjointed monster of the week setting. What's the appeal?</blockquote>
