I personally, don't think it's better or worse than 3.5e. It has many things I like more, and many things I don't like. But that's how it was as 3.5e. My group decided to go with it, just because it'd feel right to follow the evolution of D&D. None of us were expecting a better time, we were expecting something different.

Also, I brought along Domhnall who hasn't played D&D ever, only ever had chances to read the rules, and he had a much easier time learning 4e than anyone I've ever seen try to learn 3.5e. I'd say they succeeded in what they wanted to do with the game. Overall, I like it, but there's always going to be a spot in my heart for 3.0. It's what I learned D&D on, so I can't help but think back to those days. :P
