No, I don't care that 'it's more book keeping'; when 5e has kineticists, then we can talk.

I don't know if it scratches the same itch for you, but Archetypes do for me.

They don't for me, tbh. Part of what was fun about prestige classes for me was that there was multiple ways to get to them. It was something a character, theoretically any character in most cases, could work towards regardless of where they started. Like a Bladesinger may have started as a fighter, a bard, a wizard, or more. It felt like a whole world of character possibilities. Archetypes feel more like a doctor picking their specialty of study, at least to me
