Catfish_Man:
I've noticed myself developing a very distinct architectural style for both practical and aesthetic reasons.
The current version of minor exits from my tunnel system are a two block glass window next to a door (I like windows, and it's nice to check for enemies and the time of day from inside), with a mass of torches just behind the window (so that they shine out and I can spot it when frantically running for home at night). The whole thing is ringed in one layer of stone, with a torch on each block of that. Any dirt impinging on the entryway is cleared.
Major "home"/tunnel exit areas are much more elaborate. They typically have large walls topped with torches, and an open courtyard inside (with trees and flowers). An all-glass entryway with a door at each end forms an "airlock" to make sure no creepers get close enough to blow up and damage the structure.
The tunnels themselves have periodic windows in the walls or ceilings, both to act as a location reference and to allow day/night checks.
Still haven't found diamonds. I want to make a diamond pick and mine obsidian for my grandest fortress location's walls :( I do have a metric shitton of redstone dust... need to decide what to make with that.

I have only been playing for a few hours so far, and have no redstone yet. Once I do find some, I'm going to make a compass. Then try some switch activated doors.
My roommate has a house made entirely of glass right now. My plans on a stronghold (eventually, once I get more resources) will be to have a 2 story one, where the entire bottom floor is all doors, so I can run back in coming from any direction (do you know if Mobs can open wooden doors? Also, do you know if that idea of mine would work structurally?
McTaggart:
I really like the world generator. It can create some striking views if you roll the right kind of map. I don't play the game so much as sight see.
Oh and torches:
On the right, into the light
On the left, into the depths

Perhaps I'll give it another try if they do another free weekend.

It's still free to play the Alpha mode right now if you have time. The only reason for this "free weekend" was because the server went down so it's just free until it goes back up, and apparently the main dude is having trouble getting the server back up (the main page now says he hopes the server is back up on Tues).
The game is certainly for certain types of ppl, so it still may not be interesting for you, but what really keeps driving me to keep playing is all the insanely complicated awesome creations ppl have made that can be seen on youtube.
Scandanavian War Machine:
Bought this a month or two ago and it was probably one of the best $12 I ever spent.
Haven't played much in the last couple weeks because of Reach and other things, but it's one of those things that I'm pretty sure I'll be playing for a long time.

I had an amazing tree house going in my world, but it is no more. I finally got it up to the clouds and ended up accidentally burning the whole thing to the ground while I was trying to make a glass-encased lava river on the top floor. I had been working on it pretty much since I got the game and it was really really cool. :-(
