Yes anything to get people to read the rules is good. Of the 3 editions, 4 5 6, I played the most of 6th I think? Its what I got all my college friends to play but 4th and 5th were what I did in middle and highschool. I think they were all equally good and bad, netlisting really wasn't a thing back then especially if you just played with friends and so they never felt 'solved'. I played tau as a kid cause all my friends had dibs on the cool factions.

Not disagreeing with you, but to help indicate the difference between the grenades in 6th ed a unit of 10 tactical marines kills a falcon basically instantly. 10 grenade attacks, 6 hits, 1 glance 2 pens its dead from hull points alone. The to-hit changes in 6th ed combined with the always hitting rear armour made a huge difference.
It meant that you had to be cagey with vehicle placement. And to some extent I kinda like it, but I think it went to far. Even the 4th ed codex starts the section with this line, but its sort of not true with how hard it is to hit vehicles in melee.
