There were only spontaneous spells known and non-spontaneous spells prepared.This happens if and only if you restrict the number of spells known so that a spells prepared caster can prepare as many spells as a spells known caster can know. If you do that then yes it's worse because spells prepared can do literally everything spells known can and more.The 5e PHB went a step further. On average the Spells Known casters knew approximately two spells per spell level they had of levels 1-5 while the spells prepared casters could prepare three spells per spell level. This made Spells Prepared casters awful. And lead to people hating Spells Prepared because WotC hamstrung almost all the Spells Prepared classes.If you don't sabotage spells prepared and guide people through traps it is IMO a superior system leading to characters that are better characterised, easier to play, and with a whole lot less faffing. But WotC chose to sabotage the sorcerer and ranger in particular.There is nothing in the concept of Spells Known that says that you should know fewer spells than a spells caster can prepare.</blockquote>
