That`s interesting. I`ve always had the opposite reaction. That is,
there are games that do a much better job of portraying what is
"high-level" in D&D. It`s at the low- to mid-levels that I find D&D
workable--however briefly that might occur. High-level D&D
characters turn into Batman or Mutant X kind of characters, and there
are superhero systems that do that better than D&D, or D20 for that
matter. (Mutants & Masterminds D20 does a good job at the kind of
"mid-level" of the superhero genre--about the X-men level of character.)

My experience has been different. It all depends on individual tastes and what is desired out of the game I think. Our high level game has always been fun. DnD is a little over-the-top, but IMO that's what it's designed for. It's DnD for the video game generation. I don't mind, in that kind of application it works great. However, I have been working on converting BR to True20 exactly becauses IMO BR isn't designed for that kind of campaign. It can be, but I'd rather play it a little lower-key if I can. If it proves too difficult though, I'm just gonna plug in 3.5 and ride it 'til it throws me .
