The rules don't change enough, for my milage. I'm supportive of 3.75 attempts like this, and this might actually get me to play some of the Pathfinder adventure paths while FFZ and my PS4e game are being fiddled with. But while they see some of the problems with 3e, they don't see them all.
a) The Math is still a problem -- great disparity at higher levels between "good" and "bad" bonuses.
b) The 'Five Minute Adventuring Day' is still a problem -- spells are still a per-day resource, and characters that depend on them still can't do much when they're gone.
c) The CR system still doesn't allow for very easy group fights.
d) Attacks of Opportunity are still rampant and fiddly.
e) Races are still pointless after a level or five.
They do fix the 1st level vulnerability to a strong gust of wind, they do add better ways for the cleric to heal, and I like a lot of the class options and feats. The Grapple rules aren't too shabby.
It is a step in the right direction, but it's still not smooth enough, and the CMB bonus isn't as streamlining as they'd like to think it is.
A step in the right direction. Now they just need to grow some testicles and actually press for some deeper changes.
