The bladesinger and maybe also the eldritch knight a little bit were hit by the sloppily designed bladesinger cantrips. Both characters now had an ability that played poorly with GFB and BB as they were designed. Probably the best idea would have been completely redesign the cantrips and make them like at will variants of the smite spells. Cast on bonus action and unleash on next weapon attack. That would make them play well with both classes.They now changed the extra attack from the bladesinger to be special, so that they can encorporate any cantrip. Probably they redesigned the eldritch knight feature to just upgrade extra attack to the bladesinger variant. The game is actually hurt more by not updating sloppily designed spells and classes. Since the bladesinger is from a comparably unsuccessful supplement, updating the core seems a good idea. The ranger didn't have the same luck. Whirlwind attack and TWF don't work well together, actually Rangers have a lot of conflicts with their bonus action so better not use TWF in most cases.Because for now the PHB is so holy to remain mainly untouched the Ranger gets a few alternate features as a patch. Wait 3 years, and we will get the full upgrade to the PHB. Your mentality to never ever upgrade can be compared to software developers refusing to update their system, because they fear to lose older uses, but they ignore that younger uses are used to much better developed systems and at some point have to notice that a newer contender has taken over the market.</blockquote>
