I agree to an extent. I think 4 was the perfect example of way too much crap to keep track of. What I love about 3.5 is that it's complex enough to allow flexibility and "realism" while still straight forward enough to keep track of. Size modifiers, ability modifiers, etc. all really seem to help. That said, no matter what game I play, if I'm DMing I always stick with the core rule books. In the case of D&D, that's the DMG, MM, and PHB. The extra books not only offer too much to keep track of, but additional classes, feats, and artifacts aren't always thoroughly play tested and often end up being broken.
