To add to Val'Holryn's points the TU issue was also exacerbated by the system, with magic item crafting in particular being a bugbear. Not having to struggle with that solves a lot of issues inherently. TU's also came with the burden of requiring verisimilitude. "You can't be everywhere doing everything." Really? Says who? Why does that person's perspective require satisfying? Have we talked about weapon weights yet? What about armor's protective value? Can you guess how deep this rabbit hole goes?
I'll miss the Earn a Living rules because it was kind of a fun thing to do. I didn't really see it as a necessity -I tended to forget to do it about 1/4's the time's possible, and it gave some use to otherwise fluff skills. Oh well, c'est la vie.
I'm happy with the Fate changes. It's smart, simple, and clean. And makes Cursed mean something. Thumbs up all around.
