I'll finish my current one with 3.5 rules, but I'm expecting, barring dissapointment with 4E, that my next campaign will be 4th edition.

Yep. Mainly only because the only reason I have a game is the players I used to DM for before 3.5 came out want to have their characters reach an end point before 4e comes out.
 



I'm working on the campaing finale right now. We've been playing in Greyhawk for more than 3 years and it has come to an end. I'll run a small campaign that will end when the "4E first quest" arrives.

Does not seem make sense to start a hombrew world in 3.5 and then have to convert it a few months later.

Sure it does. Focus on fluff over mechanics, and use 3.5 mechanics as placeholders for the future. A change in edition doesn't invalidate the story of the setting (unless you enjoy using RSEs), so it shouldn't really be an issue. I've got the same campaign world developing that I began in the twilight days of 2e (started it around Summer of 1999), and it has made the conversion to 3e, 3.5e, and will go to 4e, and I've done very little rewriting of it.
 

I'll change if and when my group wants to change. Certainly not until after the current campaign ends. Looks highly unlikely we will ever change anyhow. But if we do it will only be after we are done with what we are playing at the time of 4E's release.

It isn't like its impossible to have fun with anything other than 4E.
 

As the DM and the only person in my gaming group to spend so much as a penny (and I've spent a LOT of pennies over the past seven years) on rpgs, I can safely say that I won't be ending/switching my campaign over for 4th edition.
 

I'd have to be running a D&D 3.5 campaign for this to matter; I'm currently running a campaign using a superior d20 rulesset (SWSE), but that will almost certainly wrap up by then. I might be running another using SWSE, Mutants and Masterminds, Spirit of the Century or a proprietary system, but there's essentially no chance 4e will directly impact my campaigns until the one after this wraps up.
