Hellfire just didn't feel right as part of the game, almost like someone tried to graft apples to an orange tree. While the additional spells were kind of nice, the graphics for the hive section are awful where visibility is concerned, and the addition of even more fire and run monsters had me spouting more colorful metaphors than usual while playing my warrior.
The Hive is indeed an abomination. Crypt, otoh, I've found pretty nice. Good mix of animal/demon/undead and monster immunities. It also has a "dungeon"-esque feel, even if the "Gothic" look is a tad over the top.
But if you're more a solo guy anyway, why not backwards patch to v1.07? You'll have a good number of mods available to you -- unless you prefer SP over even solo MP.
At least until I find the time to learn how to mod it myself. That seems to be the only way I ever get what I want for my favorite games.
That's the spirit. :) If you're up for it, start here:

Don't miss the Dark Mod Notes at the bottom of the page. Much of it is Hellfire (and in Dutch), but there's plenty of v1.07 D1 info too. Some of it you can apply to v1.09 without too much trouble.
Z&Z also have a modmaking forum, but it's down at the moment.
