I think they's ugly and boring in 4e. Different strokes.
Well they're definitely ugly. I like the scions of a fallen infernal empire deal, though. It's a neat twist on a concept that admittedly did not need a twist.
The Dragonborn have the same fallen empire dealio.
what happened to tieflings is a pretty tidy metaphor for everything that happened with 4e that I thought was great
namely vagueness being more rigidly codified and organized
also more cleavage because cleavage is a defining trait of 4e tieflings
Unfortunately, I already a clear mental image of tieflings before they decided to codify it. I also thought it was weird that the Aasimar vanished from the picture. Though, given the style that 4e went with, Divas are pretty much the substitute.

yeah, Devas are literally Aasimar with a different name as far as I can tell. a better one, imo, i like the usage of sanskrit.
but how could you build up a mental image of pre-4e tieflings in the first place
like
their entire business was "infernal blood manifests in different ways. some have weird skin colors, some have horns, some have tails, some have one hoof, there are no shared traits"

Devas were just a different thing in pre-4e.
Also I am part of the preferring 3.x tieflings party. I like distant descendant of a tainted bloodline trying desperately to cover it up a lot more than... whatever is going on in 4e.

I think 3.x was a lot heavier with the certain races are always certain alignments thing, which, while I didn't like it, made for some neat tiefling business.

Which is wierd because those already exist and are called Cambions.
