Is D&D Your Favorite RPG?

Currently, GURPS 4th Edition is my favorite; sometimes even for running some D&D settings.
Oddly, once I tried it (GURPS,) I was surprised to learn that I found the game which everyone decried as being super complicated to actually make more sense to me and be more intuitive than many of the D&D rules.
I still like D&D. There is a lot of fluff material and available material that I highly enjoy. I'm just not always crazy about the mechanics. In particular, once I experienced a game in which I had active defenses, it was hard for me to go back to the d20 vs static defense AC way of doing things.
Star Wars: Edge of The Empire is a game which pleasantly surprised me. I'd say it's currently in my top 5. I don't have enough experience with it yet to make a more long lasting declaration as to my feelings toward it, but, so far, I really enjoy it. While it's not my #1 favorite, I highly enjoy it, and have stolen a few of the mechanics to use in other games.

Nope. It hasnt been since 2008. Pathfinder is my favorite for FRPG, Hero System and/or M&M for Supers.
Well, I'd argue that Pathfinder _is_ D&D.

D&D seems to be whatever ruleset currently representing the brand. Right now it's the 4E ruleset, in a year it's going to be whatever NEXT finally becomes.
So as it were, Pathfinder is not D&D.

Yep, D&D was, is, and probably will always be my favourite. (And, for the record, I'm in the "Pathfinder isn't quite D&D" camp.)
That said, a fairly large part of that is nostalgia - like "Star Wars" (for film), it's my all-time favourite, but it's not the best I've ever encountered.

I was surprised when I clicked the threat to find I had already voted years ago. 
When I voted, D&D was my favorite. But, it isn't any more. FATE is probably my favorite now.
