I'm playing in a 3.5 DragonLance campaign, and I really enjoy it. The new classes and races make for some interesting play, as well as the familiarity of everyone who's a fan of the books with the characters in the setting. My group has encountered a dead(?) Raistlin already, and we're on our way to meet with Fizban soon, I think. I'm playing a Solomnic Knight. They replace paladins (no paladins in the DL setting, but the Knights do a great job of replacing them), but are much more difficult to get started and much more powerful at the end. It is necessary to aquire levels in both fighter and cleric to advance quickly in the Knight levels, and 2 of the Knight PrCs give additional levels in cleric as far as spellcasting is concerned... so at the end of it all, you'll be a 20th level character with an 18 base attack and about 14 levels of caster as far as cleric spells... it's great. The Knights of Neraka are equally as interesting, and the Irda (race) are intriguing also. It helps if you have a DM who is a fan of the books, as I do...
All in all, the DL campaign setting is as good as the Forgotten Realms one... Both are better than the Ravenloft setting, but all three are certainly worth buying if you have an interest in that sort of thing.

I played DL way, way back and really enjoyed it. And you're right, it is a very rich campaign world with lots of cool ideas. Hell, think of it this way, how many other campaign worlds have shaken the stereotypes that we usually hold over the races. They gave us the Kender and the tinker Gnome, both of which have almost replaced the standard view of the basic races.
