The High Aldwin
Since we started playing 5E about 4 years ago, we have always house-ruled that Paladins got cantrips equal to Clerics of equal level and Rangers got cantrips equal to Druids of equal level.
Never a fan of Artificers, who are (in many ways) the "arcane" half-caster, I did notice in looking at their class table in TCoE that they receive both cantrips and spellcasting at level 1, despite being obvious half-casters.
So, will Paladins and Rangers ever see the same?
Personally, I like the idea of half-casting classes gaining cantrips at level 1, but no 1st-level spells until level 2. This is what we do for Paladins and Rangers, as I mentioned above, and since Bards became our "arcane" half-caster, it is what they get as well.
