Well stated Dungeoneer. There is no such thing as DnD 4.5e. It's a figment of peoples imagination and those people want you to get up in arms about how they perceive that game has changed. Well, the game hasn't changed at all. Sure, powers have changed and some rules have been updated, but we don't call it Magic 15.5 just because they release a new set every 3 months or reword a rule or better yet, define a term like Fear so they can take the wall of text off the card.
Just because WotC has collected all the erratta over the past 3 years and is putting it in a line of products called Essentials doesn't mean that it's a different game and suddenly labeled 4.5. No, DnD is a living breathing entity...a game, sure, but an entity that changes and evolves. Essentials is just more of that game. So until WotC sells me a book that says 4.5e on it (like they sold me a book that said 3.5 on it nearly 10 years ago), I refuse to care about the people that do nothing but complain about DnD 4.5e. Simply put, there is no such thing as 4.5e and therefore, nothing to complain about.
