Which games do you all remember, with promising engines, groundbreaking concepts, impeccable art/aurals, but ultimately crapass gameplay?
Everyone touts the major licensing potential of id's engines, but most of the really memorable FPS games were built from scratch. With the notable exception of 1/2 of RTCW, practically every game that used the vaunted Quake 3 engine was half-assed crap. Theif, Max Payne, NOLF, BF1942, and Far Cry all used in-house technology, and they were all great. Even the Half-Life developers claimed there was little left of id's original Quake engine by the time they were done customizing it.
