The "feel" of the game would thus be one of no hexes/squares.. whether or not they are used behind the scenes is at least to me irrelevant from a player's perspective.

Yep, I totally agree on the density point. What also answers your point regarding FPG

However the initial post to this poll didn´t point out the densitiy / behind the scenes argument. That´s why I replied mentioning it.

Does anybody ever wonder why the Civilization series was based on squares? I loved those games and watched the sun rise a couple times because I kept saying, "Just one more turn." But, I couldn't help but think if hexes had been used it would have been an even better game.

It all comes down to what the game designer wanted it seems.

Squares work, hexes work, apparently crappy AI's are even considered acceptable.

Cheesy graphics are considered important by some. Pointless animations, and 3d images are also considered mandatory by some.

Me I prefer plain chocolate over white if that helps any:) .
