The opportunity cost for feats in 3.5 is so much higher, it's ridiculous. Therefore, the threshold for being overpowered in 4.0 is much lower. Because there are just so many more opportunities.

I don't think there was ever a time in 3.5 where I built a character and thought "damn, there aren't any feats that I really want to take..." I think that all the time in 4.0, especially with certain classes.
I get that feeling too, but 4e feats are more or less balanced against each other, or at least somewhat restrictive (i.e. only getting one multiclass feat). The general level of everything is slightly more powerful than in 3.5, so I can't really say that it's OP
