They are easier to play and teach, it's easier to generate characters, easy to houserule, actual game play is fun (as time has born out), etc.I think the idea that 3.0 or later editions were actually just "errata" is possibly just "marketing speak".EDIT: I totally misread your post... I thought you were saying that 3.5 was considered to be corrected "Errata" of Earlier Editions... I see now that you meant 3.5 was Errata of 3.0.My mistake... we actually agree <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
