A guy in my group has picked up the Magic Item Compendium and has loaned it to me to peruse. For the most part, I like it, although there are parts of it that are getting chucked (bye bye, crystals).
However, I do like the synergy aspect of many of the weapon and armor qualities, to the point that any of the "burst" qualities from the DMG that cost the equivalent of a +2 bonus to apply to a weapon now cost the equivalent of a +1 bonus, but can only be applied if its parent ability (flaming, shocking, etc) is added first.
