Yeah, you can get to bigger mountains faster from Atlanta but they're not part of every day life, i.e. they're not a 20 min drive. When you consider a 20 or 30 mile radius, terrain is both pretty flat with some "hilly" areas. I think DFW has more water/lakes.
Georgia doesn't have anything like the Hill Country with its winerys. But Texas doesn't have oceans as accessible.
I think we should stay away from things over an hour away as they're not immediate amenities accessible on a normal weekend.
DFW is considerably larger and there are many more options on different kinds of places to live. More large suburbs that all have their own personalities. Sure, ATL has the same but not near as many.
ATL definitely wins for sports arenas closer to the city though.
Dont get me wrong, I love Atlanta, but for me, the job opportunties are much better here and the airport accessibility is MUCH better.
I feel claustrophobic in Atlanta with all the trees. I enjoy the cityscape of DFW better. I love being able to see the skylines from different elevations of the city. The Dallas area is considerably more wealthier then Metro Atlanta and that’s really not debatable.

This is completely false. The north Georgia mountains beg to differ. You’re showing yourself here. Atlanta is more accessible to quality wine venues than Dallas. I honestly can’t believe this is the argument you’re making in regards to Dallas, which I’m a huge fan of.
Filthy rich people wouldnt really pick either. While everyone here is arguing about Mtns, if someone was filthy rich, they'd buy a house in Aspen for that. This is like asking SF vs. NYC for a low income person with weird goal posts "inland sunbelt"...

Would it hurt to just play along and not be all that technical about it?

People always forget or don’t know about Chateau Elan.

But a fellow poster just said that filthy rich people wouldn’t choose either. But you and I both know that Dallas and Atlanta have their fair share of millionaire and billionaires, with Dallas having considerably more billionaires and a few more millionaires than Atlanta. So that statement must be untrue then, huh?
I just want to point out the fact that, despite its lower elevation, Mt. Magazine in Arkansas is actually a little taller than Brasstown Bald, which is the tallest mountain in Georgia. Just want to squash the whole idea that there are no landscapes near DFW that can compete on any level with what GA has.
As others have said, the area that Atlanta really shines in is its forestation. Dallas is hardly barren, but the trees are shorter and it has obviously been subjected to a lot more clear cutting which destroyed much of the original woodland. ATL spares any tree they possibly can.
