They divorced alignment from the game mechanics, which was simply a great idea. Most gaming groups I knew already largely handled alignment in their own way - now they could do so without having to worry about how that affected actual alignment-based spells/classes/etc. 4E then also presented a different base alignment system than before... but that really strikes me as almost an afterthought. Some people use it, some people stick with the 9 point system, some people toss it out entirely - just like things were before, but without any impact for each group on the mechanics of the system itself. The 4E alignment spectrum... I could take it or leave it. But the real change, the separation of alignment from mechanics - that was an effort well spent by the design time, and one I'm definitely grateful for.</blockquote>
