Re: Make Sorcerers Great Again
Maybe instead of a bonus feat every 5 sorcerer levels, it could get +1 DC and +1 CL every 5 sorcerer levels, up to sorcerer 20.
This would serve to represent a sorcerer's natural affinity for magic and how it translates to slightly more powerful spells at the expense of a poor spell selection (depending on how deep one does into sorcerer). And, of course, it would give people a reason to go past sorcerer 6 (or sorcerer 5, if you go frost mage).

Those are the drawbacks you need to accept when you choose Sorcerer
Sorcerers are more powerful than Wizards, as far as "mechanical raw power" is concerned, the moment you get the ASoC PrC. Spontaneous casting + Imp. Metamagic is the strongest option an arcane caster can benefit from, dot.
Sorcerers don't need any more power. They reach good DCs, and even though they usually are a point or two below a specialist DC Wizard, they can re-cast the spells they need on demand, without preparation. Giving them more DC would be absurd.
They do need the possibility to switch spells at level-ups, though: that's a QoL improvement that is very much needed, when RCRing is so costly, time-wise.
I didn't think I would ever see another request to buff Sorcerers or Wizards...that's 2011 stuff.
This twisted culture got you feeding from its hand
But you will lose that food if you don't meet all their demands
And loyal is the soldier that gets slaughtered with the lambs
Examining the blueprints got you questioning the plans

+1, because even if a full-RCR were offered to Sorcerers, you still have to find a DM and sit in nexus going through the level up screen one level by one.They do need the possibility to switch spells at level-ups, though: that's a QoL improvement that is very much needed, when RCRing is so costly, time-wise.

Re: Make Sorcerers Great Again
Perhaps a feat similiar to "Extra Invocation" can be created should spell pick at epic levels truly be hardcoded.
