Yeah out of combat rules are there in 4th ed but not nearly as much of a focus as 3rd. The skill system particularly is a lot more streamlined now so it is much easier to use though we can't find the depth in it that we found in 3.5.
Personally I like the rules because it encourages people to play characters completely different from themselves. Our group tends to be pretty much all social with combat rare and we found a balance of fluid roleplaying/ rules usage-dicing that works very well incorporating bothtthe player and his character. I can see how that wouldn't be for everything.
