This is NOT meant to inspire another battle in the "Editions War", so if you are into that please refrain per the Mod Squad.
So the question: Did the last "turn of the edition" (2E to 3E) inspire so much angst? From "my books falling apart" to "Amazon screwed me" to "This isn't the D&D I grew up with" to just plain old "4E sucks"--it just seems like there is more upheaval surround this new edition than 3E.
Now I remember that many folks were none-too-happy about 3.5E, but that seemed more financially oriented: People felt jipped that Wizards was bringing out a new half-edition just three years later. But now it seems much stronger, more multi-faceted.
(And for those that can remember 1e-to-2e, was there any angst? I don't remember much, although that was before the Bitchernet ).
