Over a 7-year-long 4e campaign I never cared specifically what a character could do like I have to with 5e. At any given level, a PC's powers were horizontally broad, which makes for a fun time running a character, but rarely vertically broad, which would make for OP PCs.That sort of sums of 4e nicely: PCs had a wide variety of interesting and meaningful things they could do, but rarely could break things.There were, of course, exceptions. For example, when Divine Power came out there were some busted combos that did significant healing without consuming healing surges. But for the most part, our group found the character options to be engaging and not game breaking.Other groups may have had different experiences, I'm only speaking anecdotally from my time as a 4e DM.</blockquote>
