I think we are destined to disagree on this matter. I know where you are coming from and understand why, but I dont see 'dumbing-down' (for lack of a better descriptor) the wizard class as a requirement to lure fresh meat away from their other hobbies. I played D&D Basic when I was 12-13 and understood the rules just fine and I played a Vancian wizard as my first class.
Also given the success of 3.X and Pathfinder with their feat lists, skills, paragon paths, Vancian and 4E tomes of powers, I am confident a lone Vancian Wizard will not deter any interest in the hobby due to complexities.
