Everything that comes out now is purely optional content. The desire to keep things simple is a good one.

And there is oen of the biggest problems with this edition. So many things are just the same entity copy and pasted and stamped with a new cool name.

"No no no ... this isn't Steel Ribbon Whirlwind Deathbomb, this is Electro Rayblast Ultra Mega" ... oh.

Great review, sums up how I feel. I see absolutely no good reason to waste time or money on 4e, I'll do Mutants and Masterminds if I want superheroes. Even more so with 3.5 supplements hitting the $5 range.
