I'll say one thing for 4E... It is more accessible.

[QUOTE="The_Pugilist, post: 4286864, member: 56190"] On the other hand, each character only gets one selection from each level of powers (except for wizard). So there will be a lot of variation, especially towards the high end. I do agree that each class seems to allow less concepts by default, but multiclassing feats seems to cover a lot of that. Guess I'll see what it is like in play. Clerics are a big issue with me. They should have gone with domains/spheres and then associated the feats with that. As it stands now it will be harder to say, just use the Greek pantheon without at least making one feat per god. Of course this leads me to point the 2nd. I plan on keeping all of my 3.5 stuff. I'd love to move some of the 4e stuff backwards (alignment, skills, monster construction, how playing monsters as pcs works, etc) but I am not overly excited at the idea of Pathfinder really being a new RPG that is not truly compatible with all the 3.5 stuff I already have. So if I hate 4e (which is unlikely) or sometimes feel like something a bit more "simmy" (which is much more likely) I can always go back to my old friend with its Hexblades and Dread Necromancers. :) Edit: My prediction is that since balancing is really done through power selection at each level and the separation of dailiy/encounter/at will/utility is that a lot of customization will come through feats, especially as new items are released through DDI.
