I never fully got into Dragonlance (though, I did read several of the Elf novels dealing with the Silvanesti/Kagonesti split, which I thought were good at the time, but hard to recall details now), but I always thought it was one of the better "generic" fantasy D&D settings, which its own unique feel and idiosyncrasies.
One of my major hung ups with it, though, was the color coded magical schools, which required my character to dress a certain way and base their choice of clothing color around their school and alignment (announcing it to the world). So if I had a Chaotic Good mage, I was obligated to wear white, even if I preferred black, or blue, whatever. Then I eventually gave up on the idea of alignment and it became more of an issue.
Looking back on it I should've just handwaved or downplay the requirement, or handled the schools as just seeking their own agendas or styles of magical practice and forget about the alignment thing, but I was more focused on other settings at the time (Spelljammer and eventually Planescape for world-hopping adventures, often with Forgotten Realms as a base, despite it not being my favorite setting, cuz I always considered it the "default" D&D world. Also Ravenloft at one point, cuz one of my players, who sometimes DMed, was obsessed with it).
