The new class, it's about using one or multiple elements. It's not a spellcaster with spellslots though, think of it more in line with an Avatar character.
Multiple reasons to be hyped, some folks liked the kineticist from 1e, others want a "spellcaster" that's not a vancian caster. I just really like the theme of controlling the elements.
It's also, a pretty cool take on the "Elementalist" concept. By not making it a new full caster class and just adding a bunch of new elemental themed spells they can diferente the class from wizard or druid and let it shine on its own. While also opening up a new play style, the elemental blaster concept is not currently well represented and the Kineticist should theoretically fill that niche.
