My desire for the Enclave stems partly from a decided lack of interesting, threatening villians now present in Fallout America. Leinadi, while you might find the Enclave boring, is there any other villianous faction with any of the resources/drive/sensibility of the Enclave?
Caesar's Legion was an interesting idea, but their implementation as a technologically backward, cannibalistic, sixist Mongol horde, which followed NO roman norms other than their sense of style and their language was just terrible. Perhaps if the Legion had actually acted Roman in the slightest, it may have been entertaining, but as it stands, the Legion is destined for failure or devolution into tribals oncemore. (Might be interesting if the Legion Empire fell, resulting into a break-up of feudal and barbarian kingdoms, a sort of Dark Ages in Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico, but I don't see it happening).
The Master is dead and those super mutants that followed him are either seeking a purpose, going completely nuts, or running themselves into NCR bullets, Brotherhood lasers, and tribal spears.
Ghouls could pose a threat, should a sentient ghoul with the charisma of Jason Bright turn his will turns the elimination of healthy humans (perhaps to usher in human evolution into radiation-immune ghouls) but this would require creating a new, imposing enemy.
I think the return of the Enclave could be done well, if they recognized they were in desperate straits (because they're not gone).
