Have you ever noticed that when a new class is introduced, such as the Hexblade, the same book never has a lot of expansion material for the class? Instead, the feats they want have to be spread out among a variety of other new, largely unrelated books. Thus, if a new class "takes off" in popularity, it becomes more powerful over time. But a class that makes a bad first impression will never get a second chance.
At this point, core classes can do anything... bards can use their bardic magic on the undead, wizards can have high hit points and heal themselves, monks can stab people with their elbows, rogues can spring attack and attack with two weapons, sorcerers can cast cure spells, druids can spontaneously cure, and clerics can use turn undead to power metamagics.
My prediction for Complete Champion... paladins will have access to feats that allow them to detect and smite chaotic, feats that allow smites to overcome various DR types, and feats that allow you to use lay on hands to do other things. There will be feats that allow turn undead to imbue arrows with anti-undead power. Clerics will receive prestige classes for non-deity clerics of various alignments and philosophies.
