I cast "Baconstorm!"
Yup: it's a personal preference, reflective of people's playstyles and experience with various aspects of the a particular game-- which, of course, is why we see different "problems" and disagree on what it means to "fix" them.I'm happy that your group doesn't have the problems that have been discussed here, but that hardly makes it anything more than a personal preference. And that's fine and everything, just don't elevate your preference to some sort of "the market has spoken" phenomenon.
I'd argue, though, that the market is speaking: PF and 4e are both apparently selling comparably, and there are a few other fairly popular games in the next tier, so clearly quite a few people are playing something. Whether that's because of or in spite of these games' respective "flaws" or "design" or something else entirely, no one actually knows....
