I did
I value the feats more by having to make a sacrifice. Its especially satisfying the first time a new feat pays off.
Just a personal preference though.
That's fair I suppose. Valuing it more because you gave up something else to get it...I guess I just find the choice between the feats a sufficient opportunity cost and for creating that satisfaction when the feat I would choose pays off.
I would be fine with less ASIs as @Wormerine suggests, with only +1 every 4 or 5 levels or something like that. If I had to choose between a 5e game with only ASIs or only (non-ability score increasing) feats, I'd probably choose feats.
