It's a good thought to through out intellectually. When he said that I think I quickly found things about the EP that have been hard. That said the EP has been tremendously positive for the community. The balance has improved a lot (even civs and styles I don't particularly like). It's given a home to tournament play where it is harder to cheat. It also has given us great maps, over 25 now.
It also supports treaty patch, xpmod, and other cool features.
People may not remember, but there was a huge problem with cheaters that was largely mitigated on EP. We also caught a few people cheating in events because of EP.
Long story short, I would rather we had the EP than not.
