As someone who didn’t get into DnD until 3.5 was a thing, I like the simplicity of Old School Essentials.
The Basic/Expert ruleset is far more about the imagination for me at least (my style of how I referee). Yes, magic-users at low levels have like no spells but at higher levels, they are capable of doing all kinds of crazy magic, in combination with the ability to research magic, create magical items and so on. That’s part of the balance of the game. I can understand why people don’t like that type of game, but that’s why there’s so many options of Tabletop Roleplaying Games. GURPS, Apocalypse World, Mork Borg, Ghost Dog, Call of Cthulhu, Paranoia, Cyberpunk, Shadowrun, etc all play differently and all have different mechanics and philosophies of how the game should be played.
