I really hate feats in 4E. Beyond the obvious feat tax choices, the remaining are truly irritating for how little they do affect things. I do like the racial feats that modify powers and do neat things and dislike the ones that are just another way to get +1 on a roll with a specific weapon or whatever.
I'd love to see all feats be more meaningful and as described either be always on (but w/o being a feat tax always on +1 to attacks or damage - too boring and fiddly) but like an at-will power or ability (think Moves in Apocalypse World) might make more sense.
In any event, I'm not necessarily encouraged by the chat when it comes to feats, though I do like the skills ideas. Skills like Lady Blackbird style game play, tag up a bunch of +1s for abilities and go from there.
