Well Wizards of the Coast wasn't creating another current edition on the side that was to my liking so 4th edition was what I had to endure until the next one came along. I don't want a repeat of an edition I would rather watch paint dry than play.
Damn, that's rough. Perhaps we'll see a book called "5 Years a 4e Slave" hitting the self-help section before long. Going by a comment upstream, you did it out of a sense of obligation to a friend who'd bought 4e materials. If your group kept playing after the initial 'give it a go' phase even though they hated the game, that was a mistake. Edition changes have to be something the whole group is happy with, and your friend had options for getting their 4e fix elsewhere. Though I'm sure you realise that now.
