I suppose some might argue that Paizo's and PF's existence drains some of the market from WotC and 4.0. I couldn't disagree more. If PF didn't exist, I would still be stuck with 3.5, unwilling to so much as touch 4.0.
I agree with you. To add: if 4.0 had been 3.75 instead (tweeked 3.5 ala Pathfinder) I would have stayed a serious WotC customer. Now, all I ever buy of theirs is the occasional dungeon tiles (at big box book stores) or minis on the secondary market.
Also, if WotC had a 3.5 ddi section (in addition to their 4.0 ddi) I'd be a paying customer. That said, I'm sure they didn't want to invest $$$ on an edition they wanted to bury.
