I just got a used copy of the original adventures reincarnated version of Elemental Evil, and while the temple itself seems fine as a big giant megadungeon, (one while it feels pretty good isn't one I'd ever run over Stonehell, Arden Vul, or even Thracia or Dark Tower), the Village of Hommlet (and surrounding environs) feels like one of the best "starting town" implementations I've ever read, and something I'd plop into tons of games.

Is this the general consensus on T1-T4 that Hommlet is the thing to take away from Elemental Evil? I know from the history of the module and the six year gap between T1 and T1-T4 that we're talking about significantly different eras of D&D (and different eras of Gary Gygax).
