Nature related abilities of the Druid

First of all, a druid is a primary spellcaster, and primary spellcasters have always been gods. Of the rest, some of them are not "fighting" abilities, but none of them are "roleplaying" abilities -- they're tactical abilities. In addition, I see no evidence that those abilities are gone in 4e.
