It must just be something that gets passed back every edition. By the time a new edition comes out, people are used to the old enough that they can comfortably roleplay and improvise and tweak things. 4e has yet to be "broken in", as it were.

I will say, though, that the books themselves have a lot more "flavor" than the 3.x volumes. The text isn't as dense and there's more world stuff that crops up now and again, like references to the Feywild and the Shadowfell. That sorta thing gets my imagination going- it really feels like a fantasy game.
