As my group would say "This does not suck!"
Might get me to actually play a leader.

Hoody-hoo! Our first arcane leader has arrived. A bit short on the higher level powers though. And new magic items!

I've only skimmed the article, but the artificer is very different from the other leader types. Also, the powers seem a bit more complicated than those in the PHB, but that may just seem that way because I rushed through it. I'm going to read it in more depth soon.

Ny only real complaint is the lack of at-wills to choose from, but they'll most likely fix that in the eberron book.

I didn't expect this article for another 3 weeks!

Happy day.

Since the ECS doesn't come out to 2009, I hope they release a Part II with the additional powers as part of an additional playtest article.

It clearly states in the "sidebar etc" that this is probably about 1/2 of the planned full class - Its shows the features and powers realting to the one build "Battlesmith"
So if it seems a bit lacking on powers etc that would be why
