Yes, I'm moving in this direction too. It looks like it could be a fun tactical miniatures game, but basically everything I really liked about the old game - the way it provoked you to learn all sorts of odd stuff, the way you could tinker together the various bits to make a unique setting - is gone from this.
There's also nothing about the game that really encourages you to roleplay anything beyond shouting your war cry or customizing your combat abilities.
I'm still mulling the idea of running it somehow, but the big question for me is how much I'll have to break it to get a game that's going to be more than a simulation of a computer game.*
I admit I'm looking forward to bunches of 3.5 books turning up in the bargain bins in game stores.
(*the value of this I leave as an exercise for the reader)
