No issue there and I still enjoy pre-teen level 3.x as well. The problem is that in my group, I was the DM since by the time 3.5 came out, nobody else felt comfortable DMing due to either the in-game DMing or the prep work required. Like many others, I love DMing 4E and I'm not interested in DMing 3.x.
