I really hate how it's now basically 'pick from the wizard list for bards', 'pick from the cleric list' for paladins, and 'pick from the druid list' for rangers.
One of my main dislikes of eldritch knight and arcane trickster was that they didn't get suiting spells for their role, and were just stuck with the wizard list. Ranger and Paladin were two classes which I considered the example of how to do a half casters list.
Both of them had spells which suited them, and kept them from overlapping with their full caster siblings. Likewise, their spells were not accessible to the full casters, which kept them from doing the half caster job but better.
Likewise, Bard having its own list made it slightly less of just a 'wizard with a guitar'.
