This. I really don't get the hatred vented at 4th Edition D&D. When I ran a 4th Ed game, certainly my players spent the first game or two saying "I'm not sure about this" because they were new to the system. By the 4th or 5th game they were all having a great time and even the person who was against 4th Edition said "Okay, this is actually fun and different." Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but it bothers me when people wield that opinion as a weapon to attack others simply for thinking differently.
Truth be told, this game isn't just about the hardcore tournament players. My wife got us into this game in the first place, but the complexity of the abilities started to detract from her enjoyment of the game. Even I have a hard time remembering every single trigger, ability and spell when I have a field full of really complex characters. What we're looking at going forward will be good for the game overall, especially for the newer players who aren't on the same level as the amazing tournament players I witness at the events I attend.
It's best that we reserve our judgments until everyone can see the beta rules that are still subject to revisions and play a few games to see what we think. Reflexive reactions like this are somewhat natural but aren't helpful.
