I'm with you on this one. You should come across to the Out-of-Print forum sometime with the rest of us "old timers". I do agree about the artwork though. I prefer the style of the previous editions (like the old red box set for Basic D&D). The newer art had that manga influence that I really didn't think suited a medieval-inspired setting. Add to that the pierced Dungeon-punk style of some the illustrators, and I was definately turned off.

However, my favourite illustrator for any product would have to be Tony DiTerlittzi. I collect pretty much about anything he's done and he was one (of the many reasons) I also bought Changeling: the Dreaming.
