The low level monsters with +4 to hit barely hit anyone and do not seem to provide a threat as levels go up.  The range of monster usefulness goes down as AC goes up.  I would rather give a +2 sword over +1 armor.  I care less that the low level monsters get killed in one swing over never hitting and being a threat.I also think that the DMG scales the magic at higher levels.  A +1 weapon is found more at 5th level rather than 1st.  I tend to give out more than the charts show so my PCs got one at 3rd and 4th levels.  The party is 9th level and only 4 out of the 5 have +1 weapons.  I was looking at +2 weapons at 11th or 12th.  I do add powers and spells to the weapons making them more powerful than just a +1.  This limits the balancing issues with to hit and damage scaling.  A lot of people here will discuss how the charts work and statistically how the percentages work.  A lot of it is good information and helps show where the flaws are in the game.</blockquote>
