Myself, I'll be ready to make the switch after the release of the psionic classes and a good setting (either Eberron, or a non-WotC setting like Age of Legend (Earthdawn)).
I think another setting is what 4e really needs right now. The complaints about 4e range in two parts - the lack of peoples' favorite concepts, and that they dislike the imposed 4e setting. Bringing in Eberron to kind of say "Guys, look, I've still got the old stuff, just how you like it" would, in my opinion, do a lot to help bring more players in.

Unfortunately, they really shot themselves in the foot with Forgotten Realms.

Psionics are too sci-fi, not like the traditional method of spell casting that has existed only in D&D, involves research, laboratory work, and formulas, and was cribbed directly from a series of science fiction novels. I mean, come on, calling forth the power to alter the world from your own center of will? That's not magical in the slightest! Not at all like my wizard's spell "Telepathy!"
