Keep your eyes on the main page, the next powergaming article will be 4E. I'm intending on alternating between 4E and 3.5. I certainly agree about the abuse thing. I particularly get frustrated when I'm forced down a certain path because the I can't find better ways of making a certain character. Even without any specific strategies, more books help a lot. For example, a Fighter multiclassed to Wizard will have to resort to a few cheese combos to be effective, but the Swordmage (Forgotten Realms Players Guide) offers much more for similar character theme.

I look forward to more of these articles. I have recently been looking for more ways to powergame in 4E, because I'm sure I'm missing some obvious ones at the moment. The more options you find, the less you have to 'abuse' to make an effective character. I couldn’t agree more with you about powergaming and roleplaying not being mutually exclusive.
