My understanding is that the Ranger class was specifically changed in 3.5e in response to criticisms that it was not very effective (or at least, not worth sticking with) in 3e. But its hard because many of these issues are only issues in the right kind of game. There are games where "can I enchant arrows with Defending Weapon and get AC 100?" is a burning question, and games where the answer is "obviously not you munchkin."
The outdoor bonuses are very important in some games, and meaningless in World's Largest Dungeon (unless you pick Underdark).
