For me it's both nostalgia and a love for the origins of the game. I started playing Blackmoor back in the 1970's and it was one of the first examples I'd ever seen on how a world was "supposed" to be built. (I got the FFC and Wilderlands modules at roughly the same time, but of course the Temple of the Frog example module was in my hands even before that.)
Much of my style of DM'ing traces back to reading the FFC and seeing how Dave did it. In that way Dave was much more of a mentor to me than Gary was, since I didn't really discover Grayhawk until some time after Blackmoor. (My AD&D friend ran Grayhawk, I ran OD&D Blackmoor.)
