My wife plays Eldar, we had this discussion. Essentially, it's a no win.

Take me, a Tyranid player. I can walk into the FLGS with my army, and play a pickup game with no guilt whatsoever even using some of our competitive, finer units in the dex. But an Eldar player has to hamstring herself VERY actively to play even friendly games now (far moreso than before, and even that was bad). It's a lose lose for her, either she uses the very obviously awesome runaway tools at her disposal or she is forced to go WAY out of her way to even approach being fair.

Any brilliant games she could be playing with her army are brought low by the insane power creep of her codex. Which sucks, because she likes Eldar and started them in 5th, only to see them become a monster.
