NWN 1 and 2 did hotbars too, and I didn't like them. At least they allowed you to hit a hotkey, though, and pull open a spell list window detailing spells per level. With BG3, I am constantly searching for spells and abilities.
That said, it's not terrible, yet, but it's not good, and I truly worry about hotbar management after EA. It's like item management. It's not bad at first, but by mid to late EA, it becomes REALLY tedious and annoying, and I spend more time managing than playing. It gets to the point where I no longer care what I pick up or whatever. I just don't want to be bothered by it anymore.
The hotbar will be similar. It'll get so cluttered. I really don't like it.
