I wholeheartedly agree with you about the wizard in 5th Edition. I never played 4e. But the compounded result of restricting your ability to have multiple buffs up with concentration, drastically reducing your overall number of spells you can cast per day, especially higher level spells, and then linking improved effects to expending the already in short supply higher level slots leaves them feeling exceptionally hamstrung to me.
On the upside it is nice to have unlimited attack cantrips. But generally speaking as you get to higher levels you should be able to unleash punishing salvos of actual spells and not rely on cantrips that don't quite match melee attacks of the more physical classes.
