I personally prefer ROM over Vampires. I say this despite agreeing that Vampires are more robust, more powerful (depending on how you define "powerful") and have a more challenging perk progression. But they also require, for me, a certain mindset that I just don't find entertaining to play for extended periods of time.
Spellcasters may have a ton of cheats as regular abilities, and some are overpowered, but they're not as ... well, gloomy. And many of the features others love about vampires, I see as ... well, not something to love. (For example, the deadened emotions trait. I like my sims to love and be inspired and want to get up and go and be playful. Being Fine all the time strikes me as dull. But others seem to prefer it when those pesky emotions don't get in the way.)
I also happen to love Art Nuveau as an aesthetic more than Gothic Victorian, so on an aesthetic level, Realm of Magic appeals to me more as well. I don't find Glimmerbrook any less developed than Forgotten hollow, personally... well, except for the lack of lot traits relating to magic. And again, it isn't gloomy. :smiley:
