Indifferent, haven't played it.
Which actually is pretty close to my 3.x position, with the difference that I have played 3.x. I don't mind 3.x. But I play it mostly because ENWorld is where I game, and 3.x is what most people play, and the SRD is available on line. My 3.5 collection is limited to two setting books, three if you count SWSaga.
If the opportunity to play a 4E game came up I would take it. Just like I would probably take an opportunity to play any other game.

I voted "Dislike it, have not played it yet"
To answer the original question, that is somewhat of a change. When I preordered mine, I was hoping to enjoy it. As the leaks began to trickle out, though, my enthusiasm waned, until by the time I got my books, my expectations of enjoyment were low.
Upon reading the books, that low expectation has been solidified.
And considering that none of the other gamers in my 2 groups likes what they've seen of 4Ed, playing it seems to be unlikely.
If given the chance to play it, I'd probably give it a whirl if I didn't have something better to do.

Like it, have played it. As someone who never really got along with 3.x, I found it easy to keep an open mind 4e was announced. Bottom line, it's the most fun I've ever had playing D&D.
I was indifferent in the sense that I like a lot of the core concepts, but I think they failed in the actual execution of the concepts. Which is exactly how I feel about 4e Shadowrun. i play 4e shadowrun and have a good time, heck I play in a weekly and bi-weekly game of it. But hey I have fun playing paladium, any edition of D&D, and well almost any game I've played. Because well its a game and I am hanging out with friends.
I've ran 4e D&D but have not haven't played in it yet, and my indifferent status moved to dislike, though not on a massive scale. I think I would rather run either Earthdawn or Fantasy hero keeping the setting for earthdawn and just using a D&D setting and monsters for Fantasy Hero. The small amount of ease I'll gain in putting together a 4e game is lost in the feel of the game with things like martial dailys. Maybe mid to late next year when it has more stuff to it I might want to run it.
I'd play it at the drop of a hat, though I'd rather be playing Fantasy hero, earthdawn or almost any other edition of D&D for my fantasy game fix.
