Besides, there's like eight classes that get sneak attack and each form of spellcasting.

I think Im recalling that part of the early days before the system got so bloated with hybrid classes, prestige classes, Archetypes, etc.  Though that last was more a Pathfinder thing.  For my playstyles at least the broad=strokes in the core classes still had a lot of mechanical diversity (something Pathfinder did even better, initially) where sneak attack was unique to the Rogues, where I could decide what sort of character I wanted to play based on whether I felt like pouring through stacks of books to manage a daily spell list, or if I just wanted to be Grog the Orc with a giant ax that hit things good, or maybe I feel like a ranged sniper that weekend. 

Especially when your talking about one-off games where you want to throw something new together in a half-hour and hit the ground running for an afternoon.  But thats really more a benefit of less story-driven mechanics; less story development required overall.
