I agree, and it also puts pathfinder a step closer to 4th edition.
Most of their customers were going to be people who hate 4th edition and praised paizo for sticking to 3.5
Then why don't you just play 3.5 then?
I am all for nerfing anything that makes a game less fun. If your idea of fun is to bet everything on one roll of the die, then have fun with your save or die russian roulette. I like tactical, strategic combat mixed with heavy roleplay. I'm for removing save or die spells or altering them to deal damage.
