Splats is just seem to end up being power creep and feature creep, what killed me on 3e, though the core game wasn't my cup of tea to begin with.   Feats, classes, feats, prestige classes, and more feats didn't make the game better IME.  And the splats have to be aimed at players, way more of them and DMs, so they have to put in tons of options and power boosts to get them buying.  5e so far saying they are not going down the 3e/4e path in terms of game development is welcome news to me. Endless fiddly bits were never what made games fun, the rules getting out of the way of the players interacting at the table is what makes a fun game design. 5e rules mostly stay out of the way whic is why I'm having fun again running D&D.</blockquote>
