"No. I am your father."

I've seen people say on here that, when editing ROTS, they want to preserve the Vader-is-Anakin reveal. Why?

I ask, because I don't remember ever not knowing this fact (disclosure: born in 1987). I don't remember ever being surprised by Vader's statement. I understand that, for 1980 audiences, this was a huge revelation, and it may have been the most memorable thing about the film, but does a surprise here really make ESB a better film?
