I'd totally rather have shift covers, bit I get others disagree. I feel like WotC has given up marketing at this point. Like, I couldn't be less excited for them right now.
Crystal spheres sucked. Glad they're gone.
I felt like the SJ set was short of interesting though. I agree stuff was missing, just not sure what.... But the adventure missed for me, and a series of two page encounters, maybe five, showcasing cool SJ things would have been way better
I have not used it in the last year, so that's good to hear! And I will be checking out it again. There were things I liked, but I can't see leaving foundry at this point, but we'll see.
