The problem that I see with this is that too many people have closed minds on the topic. I've been looking at the posts on the WotC boards and so many posters are angry and seem to have a "my edition or nothing" attitude. If gamers won't compromise on this, we won't have a successful 5E.
I own and have played virtually every D&D edition ever produced and I see some good points and bad points to every edition. A clever design team ought to be able to find some good stuff from each edition, cobble together a game based on the best of all worlds, and end up with a decent product. However, if they lean too heavily on either AD&D or 4E they will continue to spllit the market. Has to be some middle ground somewhere.
Just my two coppers.
