While I realize some elements of 4e are a more radical departure, I'll note I heard almost exactly the same kind of statements from some 1 and 2e D&D enthusiasts when 3e came out. Some went as far to say it "wasn't D&D" anymore. In this case its looking like from the outside that someone who doesn't really like it as an RPG is simply being reinforced in his dislike by increased emphasis on elements that make that so to him. To someone (like myuself) who doesn't consider using a battleboard to make something not an RPG, this just doesn't seem like a particularly strong argument.
