I like the new FR, and I have not seen some preponderance of critics panning it more than praising it, at least not any more or less than 3e FR.
If you don't like 4e FR, fair enough. But speaking on behalf of most critics, players, and DMs?
I think for this kind of product, it's kinda far fetched to make those kinds of claims with out some pretty extensive proof along with links and statistical counting and direct comparison to equivalent data from 3e.
Without that level of proof, I think you would be more persuasive if you just gave your personal opinion, rather than the false appeal to authority that you made.
As for Eberron, since I liked FR, I hope Ebberon lives up to 4e FR
Man, you can always spot a lawyer on a message board, can't you? With your evidence and your burden of proof and such . . .
