My biggest complaint with the fourth edition players handbook was the fact that I got two freakin elves. Yes I know they have two different names, and yes I know one is the high elf and the other is the wood elf, but for hecks sake why do I need two elves when there were a host of other races they could of given me.
Aside from that yeah the 1 controller class bugged the crap out of me too. However when I realized that the PHB was about martial, divine and arcane hero's I realized that the next PHB will most likely include natrue, skilled (bard), and x (not sure) heroes and we should see a couple more controller options there.
All in all though I really dig the new rules and thought they did a good job which makes me happy because I was worried they were killing the game with this jump.
