It's easier to have one flexible baseline built for maximum modularity and variability and multiple provided options on how to vary that class than three less flexible variants. But if more options is what you want there are other candidates than just the sorcerer and the warlock. Why not the elemental sha'ir? It combines the two into a single alternate class. Or the more flavourful and distinct Dragonlance sorcerer? It can only work with the elements and not abstract forces, which differentiates the two in terms of spell selection instead of just casting. What about the wu jen? It was in 1e and 3e (both 3.0 and 3.5) as a class and 2e as a kit so it's been around far longer than the sorcerer or warlock. The warlock and sorcerer are distinct only because of their newness. A class should offer something else to the game other than being conveniently recent.</blockquote>
