I feel like the neutral balances good and evil thing is the result of people completely misunderstand some assorted light/dark yin/yang positive/negative duality poo poo without realizing that good and evil do not map onto that. No one should want to balance evil with good. It probably made more sense back when law/chaos was the only alignment axis.

Law/chaos being the only alignment axis predates Dragonlance, and indeed, AD&D by quite a few years.

I feel like there's a real competition between Dragonlance books and the Belgariad for "fantasy series I thought was awesome but now regret investing time in."

"That I thought was awesome" being the critical qualifier here.
