Never tried editions older than that. So i'll take your word, but it kind of makes sense, since wizards are artillery from wargame days. Good riddance to that.Wizards can't solve everything trough rituals and using 10 minute to cast ritual isn't always best course of action. But it's more problem of martials, particularly fighter, being poorly made for other pilars and niche protection. Solution isn't nerfing casters, it's buffing non - casters with interesting abilities that contribute in other pillars. In 3.5 days, i used Warblade as default fighter and Crusader as default paladin type, removed cross class skills and made all skills class skills for everyone and buffed skill points for most classes. With that tweak, non casters gained more useful stuff to do. Broken i what ways? Tried it, was fun. In combination with no prememorization. We also tried few other house rules. One was roll for cast. No slots. You can cast spell how many times you want. But, DC is 11+spell level. And for every two castings of same spell in a day, it goes up by 1. Wanna do 6 magic missiles at level 1? Be my guest, it starts with DC12 and ends with DC14 ( you roll prof mod + casting stat mod). First time you fail, spell is locked until long rest. Bad roll can lock your spell on first casting. Good rolls can get you far. I relly want all classes to have few big bang nova options and then few all day long options. Give my martial a whirlwind attack that can hit multiple opponents in single swing or ability to strike ground with hammer and make all opponents in radius fall prone. Something that makes them awesome few times per day ( on par with spell slots). When all the cool stuff is spent, fighter can go boink all day with regular attack, casters can have their cantrips and rituals.So does every other class in 5e and everyone who took UMD in 3.x/PF1. UMD was one of the most useful skills for that reason.  And i hope it doesn't.
