Agree on all points. There's a total conversion mod for the original X-COM: UFO Defense that is amazing, and being actively worked on. New updates every month or so. Hundreds more hours in the campaign. Set a few hundred years after X-COM loses, and earth is a radiated wasteland when some intrepid mutant gals start to fight back against the "Star Lords". It's called xPiratez. Rated a soft "R" for gratuitous pixellated boobage.

TIL about the existence of OpenXCom, so I guess I know where my next weekend will go...
Yeah, it breathed new life into the basic game in a big way. The mods, on the other hand, get pretty different.

Unfortunately, their website appears to be down, at least for the last couple of hours..
