Our difference of opinion on GC seems to come down to either liking the presence of well defined terrain features or preferring a more chaotic strategic environment. I, coming from a love of tactical to operational level gaming, really like terrain.

Sure, clumping gives you a "nicer" more regular terrain. Wide empty borders also help fend off planet-hoppers and surprise attacks (packets, cloaking). You got no backdoors, no bridges, no wide swaths of stars, no natural "routes", no neck-breathing neighbors, no nothing. 
Just regularly spaced clumps, like in a checkers game. 
Me I prefer chess. 
So many Stars, so few Missiles!
