And in 3.5.

Player:  I cast antimagic.

DM:  Rocks fall.  Everybody dies.
Yeah, but you think WotC would have learned to do better after 3.5e.

Oh, I think they have.  In terms of "please finish these rules", my question is a comparatively minor detail compared to antimagic, wish/miracle or contingency.  One sentence of clarification and it would be rock solid.  So I reckon they've come a fair way - just not all the way.

They've come a long way in terms of game balance as well.  Many of the game-breakingly broken things in the 3.5e core rules massively outstrips 4e core.  We've found two or three anomalous combinations of conditions, and a few minor imbalances.  All of the classes work even if they're not optimal.  That's cause for a round of applause.  Well, it would be if we weren't committed to perpetual grumbling.
