Yep. I like what I've heard, and I really like what I've seen from Star Wars Saga Edition. I've honestly been ready for a change for a while. I purchased most all of the crunch books for the first four years or so, but I haven't purchased a whole lot that wasn't Eberron related lately. In fact, I was so tired of Vancian magic that I found it difficult to even bring myself to play a spellcaster.
There's virtually nothing that I've heard that I don't feel is an improvement over 3E core. In fact, the biggest positive for me was the new lack of iterative attacks. After trying to play a swashbuckling game time and again, it just never seemed right. When I saw Saga, it all became clear why.
It remains to be seen if it's better than my current favorite collection of fules (psionics and Book of Nine Swords), but I've got all of that sweet sweet new stuff to look forward to. On balance, I think I like the new stuff I've seen better even than the version of 3E I made for myself.

Yeah, especially as a DM – I have a feeling many DMs are actually looking forward to 4th Ed, for obvious reasons.

I'm switching. If somebody else wants to DM 3.5, fine; but when I'm behind the screen, it'll be 4e.

I'm leaving 3.5 in the dust when 4e comes out.

This is my first post here and I'm happy to say I am going to give 4E a shot. To be honest I was one of the people so dead set against the new edition.
I hated the fact that after I spent so many thousands of $ on my game they were going to change it to the point that all that $ and all my books were useless. I was angry at being "IMHO at the time" tossed aside like old newspaper for the idea that they might get more new blood.
So I did not move on to 3,0 or 3.5. Actually because of this feeling of Betrayal"real or not" I stopped playing D&D all together.
At first I went on to other games like Hackmaster,Gurps,Hero. then I left the hobby all together and took my gaming online with MMORPG's.
Now its been years since I last rolled a d20. Most of my RPG stuff didnt make the test of time. A move that went bad. A small fire. Life just sort of took it all away when I wasnt looking. Heck even a few months ago my KOTDT Sub ran out and I didnt renew it.
Then out of the blue my main computer crashed. No more MMORPG for a while and something strange happened. I didnt go through withdrawls. I didnt miss it at all. I realized that somewhere along the way I settled for MMORPG's but I was never really happy with them.
Then while I was surfing I found this site! I read a new edition to D&D was on the way and suddenly I was reading about it none stop. It sounded great! Sure it wasnt my old game but thats ok I'm not too old to learn how to have fun with some new tools.
I talked with the wife and now we are both reading and talking and I can feel that old DMing
feeling coming back.The only issue I have is its so far away! I guess I might go pick up a copy of 3.5 main books and a adventure or two to tide us over.
I want to game!
