Fallen Empires is generally under rated or written off as being a weak set. However, there are some really efficient cards in this set: Hymn to Tourach [tap 2 black mana and force a random discard of an opponent], Night Soil [generate 1/1 green creatures by using an opponent's graveyard], the sacrifice lands that give you 2 mana when you sacrifice them, Rainbow Vale [a fun land card in a big huge melee game]... I'd pick take an FE pack over a pack of The Dark. 
there is about 5 cards in the whole set that i would use other then those five the set is terrible, but however if you are new to the game and want old cards this is a cheap way to get old cards 
The biggest reason Fallen Empires was panned by the player base was the sets it was compared to. Antiquities, Arabian Nights, Legends and to a lesser extent The Dark were overpowered, and players expected more of the same. Fallen Empires was really the first balanced set produced. I'd put it on a par with Mercadian Masques really. Many of the cards in FE were repinted in 6th edition, and thus are extended legal until Oct 2005. 
Interestingly enough, if you look through an old copy of InQuest Mag and average out the "ratings" of the cards by sets (cards being rated from 1 (worst) to 5 (best)), Fallen Empires had the highest overall rating of all sets released up to, and including Alliances. (Another interesting fact: Alliances had the second *lowest* overall rating.)
Simply put, this set was one of the most balanced sets released, with an average card rating of something like 3.2 (with 5 being maximum). It had no real "power" cards, but the cards that it had worked well in a very wide variety of decks. Your Rights :
