Eberron is not a subset of D&D AS A BACKDROP; it is the new standard. Greyhawk as a backdrop isn't even a subset anymore, it's more of a footnote the magazines continue to refer to.
Don't be a silly. The New Standard? Do you know how many different campaign settings have arisen for D&D over the years? I have at twelve fully fleshed out campaign settings for third edition alone. Eberron is neat, it's great that you're enthusiastic about it, but unless entire RPG gaming industry has suddenly decided to center on you (not highly likely I'm afraid)I somehow doubt it will become the new standard. Even if it spawns a few video games. I kinda like Eberron, but multiverse is vast and although the Realms are by far my favorite, Greyhawk withstands the test of time incredibly well. Maybe you need to read some of the books which take place in it to get a real feel for it, not that I'm saying you should. Rock on in Eberron if thats you're bag.
But don't step on my Greyhawk kid, Mordekainen owes me a few favors yet.
