Personally, I like splatbooks. They add more depths to the game. If you don't like them, leave them.

Then why call them splatbooks if you like them? Splatbooks means that it's a book half-arsed worked on with typo's and format problems, no consideration to balance whatsoever, no innovation or thought process that a trained monkey couldn't come up with on his own. If complete arcane has classes and rules that are interesting and nifty to you, then it isn't a splatbook.

Example: I find 3.5 DR more intresting.

How exactly? 3rd edition DR actually made sense. the whole DR / +1 magic to +5 magic made it possible for a stronger monster to actually still resist damage from a high level party. But in 3.5, every single tough monster in the game that has some beautiful damage reduction, like DR 20/magic, means that a 7th level party could damage it no problem. Possibly even sixth.
