A 20th level fighter will not kill a 10th level wizard in 1 round.
That's true - if the wizard wins initiative and then teleports away before the fighter can act.

I know a lot of people like the "goodies" given to each class in PF. I'm not one of them. For my experience, all the many new choices just complicate and slow-down character creation. If 3.5 was panned for too many feats, PF has the same problem magnified. I'd like to see all the hundreds of feats severely pruned-back, and perhaps limited to combat-related feats. That would be a good way of balancing the casters and non-casters.
When it comes to new class features, fighters and rogues might have needed them, but the casters didn't. If casters were too powerful (relatively) before PF, they are even moreso in PF.
All the many new choices and oodles of feats only slows down and complicates character creation for someone who's never played Pathfinder before. Once I got used to having all the extra material, I realized I didn't really need to absorb it all at once--and then the problem evaporated. If I want to play a Sorcerer, I figure should browse the bloodlines and pick out one that looks fun to play on a glance, and forget the rest.
