Heh. Count me in the minority who knows HERO too. Love that system, gamed about 10 years of my life using those rules (and Rolemaster) firmly in the face of 1st and 2nd edition AD&D. Glad I did too. HERO is probably the best Superhero roleplaying game ever made.
HERO is great for supers, modern or very low magic fantasy too because of it's gerneric "rule the effect, not cause" logic. I like it's building block nature, and called it the LEGO role-playing game before for that very reason.
Not sure I'd call it rules Lite or optimal though. Good, yes. Quick and easy for a new player? Most definitely not!
