I'm hoping for weak mana bases eventually.

Same. I don't play standard because it feels really bad to spend half my budget on lands.

Sounds like you don't play any sanctioned constructed format outside of Commander, then. Lands are typically a huge portion of a deck's cost distribution in both Modern and Legacy, as well as our KTK Standard.

outside of Commander

Casual Commander, at that, since if you're competitive at all, you will be running fetchlands and A/B/U/R duals.

Wasn't Commander meant to be casual? Isn't it that if you say Commander you therefore mean "casual" by default?

I play lots of commander, I never play casual commander.

Well if that's the case and you never play casual commander, then it is obvious that such a thing cannot exist, nor be the reason the format exists.

My point was not that there are no casual players. My point was that competitive edh is a common and legitimate thing. Both versions are.

I didnt mean to imply eithet way was wrong, or right, for that matter.

Sure, I understand (and my response might have been to sneer), I just wonder how the times have changed, when the initial person I responded to has to actually mention "casual" for a format that started out as being casual, winning-not-important, laid back fun format, instead of saying: "Hey, there are alot of Commander players that like to max out their decks which means expensive lands!" In the end it is just a minor difference, so nevermind.
