I do have some other problems. They nerfed melee (power attack is gone for example and critical feats I don't really see the point of.) and I just don't feel like learning a whole new edition if the vast majority of 3.5 was unchanged. If they'd done something about the balance issue I'd consider playing the edition in spite of that. However, the only Class I feel like playing (Paladin) the DM said I was going to fall for any violation.
I'm not going to play in a game like that and no other ones are available. I'll just say that I have problems with the edition and leave it at that.
