And with the argument that I can stick with 3e, what's the use ? All their future releases will be 4e only. They made 3e obsolete.
Speaking as someone who still happily runs Windows 2000 on my home computer, I can't see how lack of vendor support makes it impossible to use a product.

The older D&D rules are still there. They aren't going away unless somebody destroys the books they're printed in. There's so much supplementary material available that even the most insecure DM (who wants hand-holding for everything) isn't going to lack any new material for years. Why switch?
