My experience is that players rarely ever want to tinker with stuff that goes on their character sheets, its a lot of work for them, though you will find a few players that will go that extra mile. So I didn't really find the existence of CB to be really inhibiting (in any case you simply don't have it in other editions, so its hardly a lack). As you say, 4e is very easy to hack on, on both sides, easier than any previous edition. Basic/BECMI is NOT easy IMHO because you have no unified system, nobody has a real notion of what the appropriate mechanics are for ANYTHING, it could be any arbitrary type of dice, possibly varying by class or race, etc. Its a zoo! 5e isn't so bad, but I don't personally see where it matches or exceeds 4e, which has a better keyword system, tighter skill system, and much more significant non-combat resolution systems as well as page 42.</p></blockquote><p></p>
