I would rather play with Free Archetype than not, but it's flawed, because the class archetype and archetype system itself feels insanely flawed.

>Whenever I make a character, I usually decide the concept through the class, then have to go desperately searching for an archetype that fits the concept or at least doesn't intrude too heavily upon it.
Even as someone who likes Free Archetype and would never play without it short of introing new players, I can feel this. Archetypes in general are not option-dense enough to actually cover being on a second track in most cases, nor should they need to be-but I also do not think the trade of Class Feats for them ever actually feels like a good one in a staggering majority of cases.

It's enough to make me wish general feats actually covered the ground Free Archetype is attempting to, and we had more general feats to go with that, but I know that's a different kind of design headache I'm not sure is worth diving into.
