Not really; the 'good drow' (or to be less chartiable, drizzt clones) have become so popular WOTC has tolerated it/accepted it enough to make an entire faction of drow that are good. Why? Because the evil drow are exactly that; they're meant to be evil and not meant to be anything beyond 'unsympathetic enemy'.
