If I ever stop retweeting this, assume that I've died and am locked in immortal combat with Jack Vance in the afterlife. https://twitter.com/ToddKenreck/status/1249137396941303808

But really... WOTC needs to complete the spell point variant. Right now it leaves half-casters between options and requires a lot of DM adjudication for non-spell features that use spell slots (like Divine Smite). I have completed it myself, but I want WOTC to do it so it's done.

For the record, I also really hate it when effects are gated to higher levels for no reason. Eg. I shouldn't need to burn a 4th-level spell slot to send the contents of my waterskin to douse a flame—I should be able to unlock the power of hydromancy in increasingly powerful ways.
