The modularity of 1e, the setting-specific fiddly bits of 2e, the universal d20 system in 3e....4e isn't very modular, applies its own philosophy to new settings instead of the other way around, and is more concerned about marketable D&D branding than about opening up the game to new experiments and individual styles.4e has removed a lot of the things that made D&D in earlier editions capable of handling all those things well enough for a few months of gaming fun.This isn't a problem if you like 4e's style, but if you're a fan of a different style, D&D might not work for you any more, forcing you to find a different game rather than use D&D.</blockquote>
