The biggest reason I've seen against good-aligned drow is Drizzt clones. The second is against good-aligned characters of an "evil" race. Cries of Mary Sue-dom end up falling somewhere between the two, typically.

I actually do like Eilistraee drow; the idea of benevolent and joyful drow make the entire race actually more interesting, and the cruel parts of the culture stand out more. After all, it's one thing to have an evil culture with evil gods because everyone is evil (with few exceptions). It's far different to have an evil culture with evil gods because the society just behaves that way, and some drow don't find it preferable.


I've had thoughts of a drow druid and clerics of Eilistraee, so I wouldn't say the concept is that abstract.
