Some in a general way. Some because, as the OP seems to not acknowledge, peoples very tastes can change. I used to like the concept of characters strongly devoted to gods, and the idea of the Cleric class. But I realized the Cleric was mechanically broken, and that the concept of religion within D&D wasnt all its cracked up to be.   3.5 fixed some of the things I didnt like, or added things I liked better, but also added stuff I didn't like. I'm sure 4e will be the same. Conceptually at least...I dont actually get to play, well, much at all. But I still like to keep track of things.  I think slowly the WOTC people are coming to realize that these types of games are interactive, ever changing and ever-improving things. I think 3.x made so many changes to the previous rules, a need for an eventual ironing out was inevitable.</blockquote>
