And swinging a big stick is only sort-of easier; the hard choices are made at level increases, rather than at a session level; a Sorceror-type is in a similar boat. It's only the prepared casters that have to worry for the entire session "Hmm... how many encounters today.... should I use the Haste now, or save it for later? What about the Chain lightning? The Empowered Fireball?" A fighter doesn't run out of sword swings, a rogue doesn't run out of sneak attack. A spontaneous caster can just Hasten again later, or Empower the Fireball on the spot. However, with more limited options overall, the spontaneous caster must choose much more carefully at level-up than does the prepared caster.
