I agree that much of 4e could have easily been wrapped into a 3.75 release and that the classes don't have the same feel as in 3.5. They are kind of bland now. But at the same time we had seven years and countless supplements that built upon the original material. Give 4e the time and I think we will see that class uniqueness return. Since one of the biggest complaints I have heard from people that like 4e is the fact they feel too limited with each class I think that is something that WotC will build upon/explore in future supplements.
BTW I think DMing (prep time) is waaaay faster and easier in 4e. I'm getting spoiled by having so much of the info (stats, npcs) ready to use at a moments notice with little to no tweaking necessary.
