Well, for something like The Witcher 3 - I'm not going to wait. I can't wait.
As much as I'd prefer a complete version, we do have a certain pleasure threshold built-in - and I don't think the additional content of the EE will be such that an experience without it will be significantly inferior. More than likely, it will be a minor upgrade in terms of the overall experience.
While I do hate DLC - I don't think I'd prefer games to remain entirely static. Let them improve and expand - and there will come a time when the game can be experienced again with the new stuff.
Even without DLC - we've always had patches or expansions. Many of those changed the experience significantly - or even entirely. So, it's nothing new to have to accept that games are not written in stone.
The only change is that the illusion of a pure experience is much less powerful.
