Yep. I think you're absolutely right. And I just want to make it clear that I don't think Exalted is a bad game. It's just a bad game for me, as it doesn't fit neatly into the way I want to play and trying to change my way of playing to suit it just doesn't make for a satisfying experience for me.
In fact, I took a scenario from an Exalted game I ran a few years back that had a lot of promise but just didn't achieve that "zing" in play, and I ran it recently as a one-shot at a nerdnyc event using The Shadow of Yesterday for the rules. And by god that game was awesome.
