4 ed has a good design, but a narrow range of play style.
4ed was also very balance and thus very predictable. Most combat were soak, wash, rinse, repeat.
I like it very much for a time, but get totally bored after some years.
each edition brings it own core play style, and it’s not that easy go against the wind. Rewriting spell lists or magic items list is some kind of foolish, but have a one page of selected home brew adjustment should be usual.
