Ways that the earlier editions of JY's novels are better than the current editions?

Jin Yong's revisions to his novels during the past decade have not necessarily always been well-received by fans. In what ways do you believe that the earlier editions continue to be better than the current editions?

I like how the 4 Greats each invented their own martial arts.

[Dragon Heiress]

I like how XLN did not cure her poisoned state by sleeping on chilled jade and eating honey.

[Single Whip]

the story of 9 Yang origination is much much better in earlier versions than the current revision.

I liked how the protagonists clearly knew who they loved by the end of the novel.
