1e ad&d is the only version I've not played (though I've only played basic a couple of times), so you could well be right!
If you're interested in the history of the hobby, it's important, and there are good bits in there, but... yeah. It's extremely messy, sometimes outright broken, and sexist even by the standards of its time and context.
I love 3e, but it was the first edition I played. If you look at it and think, "No, absolutely not," I can't argue with you. :P It's a mess, but it's in my trash pile.
