4th Edition D&D dispensed with tracking diagonals
For the most part, 4e just removed the rules that it would have been a problem with.
Right, my apologies; I forget that people want different things from their rules.

I think, on balance, that counting diagonals as only one square is a wash. Some stuff gets bigger, but movement across the field gets faster, too.
Yes, though because it's a wash one could also say that nothing is really changing at all. By any measure other than tactical combat, nothing
is changing.
