I used to be 100% pro-wizard, hated sorcerers, etc... until I actually made one, and played it. I'm actually turned around somewhat, now. With the addition of Runestaffs and other ways to add spells known, and with good spell selection in general, sorcerers certainly have their advantages. I love not having to bother with preparing spells... If you don't also need to be the party skill monkey, I might even prefer them over playing wizards now.
