It also suffers from not using consistent language and keywords in the rulings.

The more recent rewrites are better but there would be way fewer discussions on "what exactly does this mean" if there were consistent keywords for things.

...also I am currently writing a pile of homebrew to try and run a spelljammer game because those books they released inspired me to run a Treasure Planet campaign but didn't give me nearly enough material.
