Absolutely. And that's the way it should be: ultimately, each and every gamer has to make choices and use PRPG, if at all inspiring for any particular DM, to his or her tastes and aspirations. Like any other D&D/d20 game variant we've been using thus far (like Arcana Evolved, for instance).
The point of PRPG is to keep 3.5 in print. But just reprinting the d20
SRD à la Mongoose would be a waste of time for everybody. Trying to tweak the system and "fix" what many fans of the system want to be fixed is the goal, but in the end, few are going to be pleased with the result from the get-go.
It's for us to take our DMing responsabilities at heart and then to make Pathfinder what we want it to be at our gaming table. Then, and only then, will it become a living system that will evolve over time on a path no one can predict. It's an effort on the long run. Not instant gratification. Just the way it should be,
IMO.
