Okay. I have to admit that Jonathan Tweet's last blog was actually useful. In a way.
The link he posted to an essay written by Slanderpanic posted here was a good read.
It was well written, and I completely agreed with the author. I also have a big problem with these "at will" powers and never ending supply of anything. I see it as the dumbing down of the game I love. The MMOification (hate that term but it is appropriate) of DnD to give it more appeal to the masses.
By the way, what masses are they trying to appeal to? It seems to me that anyone over the age of ten (give or take) should be able to manage their resources. And if they go and unload every spell they have at the first kobold they see, then they deserve to roll up a new character later on. After a few character deaths maybe they'll begin to learn. I believe that's a tried and true process.
Anyway, thank you Johnathan for finally contributing something, in a weak second hand way.
