CB: why you hate vanilla players?

I will equally point out Shasvastii

Except for the fun, there’s no real competitive reason to play SEF over vanilla.

The AVA that Vanilla sacrifices is far less important than all of the tools becoming available.

Mind you, I play SEF because I have tons of fun with them, but they’re far less powerful and optimised than Vanilla

Gwailos, fireteams, and especially the vibe of playing a cohesive force were always good enough reasons for me. Although I must say that leaner vCA does look interesting. Might give it a spin in N5

Probably because that was a serious complain, it is been addressed by the new edition.

I honestly can't understand the reason for all this hate against the generic ''vanilla'' factions and the desire to force all players to play sectorials.
In my gaming group no one plays sectorials, and it is inevitable to observe how much the CB wants to penalize these players compared to the players of sectorials.
The initial ''exchange'' was between choosing the versatility of vanilla or the power of fireteams. Sectorials had limited choices but all the fireteams bonuses. As time goes by, vanilla are losing all their charm and what drove us to choose to play a generic faction. Sectorial factions have gained many more choices, and even exclusive units that generic factions don't have access to. With n5, from the preview releases, you can see that the choices for the vanilla factions have been practically halved.
In this case, now those players who collected entire factions and decided to sacrifice the power of the fireteams to have the freedom to choose to play any model of their own faction, even just for the charm of the miniature, what should they do? Choose a sectorial and sell all the models excluded from that sectorial? At this point, what is the advantage of playing a vanilla army instead of a sectoral one? Truly from the latest releases (reinforcements, moving iconic characters from factions to other factions, etc) I can't find positive points on CB's marketing choices.

Let the developers develop the game. Generics were a nightmare because of the overflow of troops. They're getting fireteams. I'm sure that most will be balanced.
