The thing that has bothered me most has been the uneven release of materials. We have Dragonborn and Tiefling splatbooks, but nothing for other races. They kept releasing books with new races and classes, but half the time (esp Heroes of Shadow) failed to ever support them with magic items, feats, or other build options (unless you cough up for the DDI subscription, and then a lot of the material is fan submission rather than WotC). They kept throwing out new power sources, and then pretty much abandoning them for yet newer ones rather than supporting/fixing what was already 1/2 donkey'edly done.And as far as converting characters from one edition to another, WHY? Why would you even try? This is a new game. Make a new character. Make a new story. 4th Ed was such a drastic change (and improvement) over the previous mechanics for balancing classes and evening them out, that trying to port something else that wasn't even designed to fit is like getting upset when the square peg won't fit into the round hole.</blockquote>
