From SC2BW that tries to recreate sc:bw as closely as possible (and doing a decent job at it imo), to mods that tries to take the best from sc1 and sc2 and merge them into their own game. Some are closer to sc:bw in spirit, some closer to sc2, some go a bit more their own direction. None has really gained a large enough following so that the community can be said to be split. The most played one is probably starbow (it has a huge thread in the sc2 general forum) that is it's own game, and pretty close to sc:bw in feel some say, but still 3D and as afar as I know multiple building selection, worker-rally and smart-cast that you don't have in sc:bw. But units (and builds as I understand) are mainly sc:bw units, and while there are some macro mechincs (I think? Or did they remove them?), they have a much smaller impact than in sc2. One of the big reason why people play normal sc2 has been quoted to be the ladder, which is very convenient in sc2, just press the button, and you get thrown into a game with an opponent of similar level. While in starbow (and the other mods), you have to put in a bit more work to find good games as I understand. Some starbow people say that blizzard doesn't support ladders for arcade (sc2-speech for UMS) because they are afraid that arcade games will overtake the standard 1on1 ladder, while others say that's paranoia. So well, that's what's going on in the sc2 modding scene as far as I know.  I'm not really into it myself though, so I may have some incorrect information above. Ive saw Starbow as it was out. There were tournaments including some well known top foreign bw players, but it didnt work out, because its too different, like no defenders advantage and no muta stack if i remember, it was frustrating for players and there were alot of BW vs Sc2 spirits as the kespa switch was recent so the mod quickly faded out of bw section. Personally i didnt liked the the graphics it was too dark and uncharacteristic. I agree with blizzard mods shouldnt be on official ladder, however people that enjoy them should be able to play multiplayer as much as they want.
