I can't say for certain PF2e won't suffer the same fate (our group is only 2nd level) but so far its been a lot easier to throw together good encounters (not necessarily ones that the group only just beat, but ones they come away having enjoyed) than I found with 3.5As an extra to this I'm finding the various subsystems within  PF2e fit together well at the table, certainly better than they read at the book (I find there is a degree of bread crumbing in the book, having to follow a trail of rules to piece together the one you want), in the instances where we've had to quickly houserule something at the table I've found when we've researched the official ruling in downtime after the game, we've generally been very close to the official ruling.</blockquote>
