It is the over effect that a major improvement.This is one of few times where the interaction and number of small but excellent changes means a lot more then just one or two major changes.  3.5 smooth out lot of rough edges, corrects errors in implementation of several 3.0 concepts, rewords and clarifies many small but annoying rules problems, and integrates lots of lessons learned. The changes to the core and prestige classes are a couple of examples of rough edges that have been fixed.  The whole combat chapter in the PH is a very good example of rewriting rules for clarification without any thing beyond a few minor changes.  As for lessons learned; just look at the monster manual's monster building rules.Don't get me wrong I don't think that 3.0 was bad, it just that like most first implementation that there are flaws that only years of playing could have uncovered.  For the most part that is just what 3.5 is about.</blockquote>
