While Piers may have been too harsh and maybe not a good person in real life, he wasn't afraid to buzz even kid acts if he felt they were bad. We need someone like that again on AGT. I wouldn't say Howard was soft at all...if anything he was a huge jerk in his first season and then became more reasonable afterwards.

Personally I think we should look for a happy medium in between Howard and Piers, someone that can speak their mind without being too harsh or too soft. I really liked Neil Patrick Harris as a guest judge and I think he'd be a great replacement for Simon (but I'm pretty sure Simon is confirmed as a judge until at least Season 14 >__>)
