Started with AD&D 2nd Ed around '92ish. I played a lot more Rifts, TMNT, Star Wars d6, Call of Cthulu, Deadlands, and Vampire than I did DnD until 3rd Edition, where I switched to DnD just about full time.
What is your second edition experience (no edition war!!!)

Yeah, that's why with 3rd Ed I didn't embrace the "Collect Them All!" attitude I had with 2nd Ed, I learned my lesson with The Complete Gnome Cobbler's Handbook and what not.

I started with the D&D "Red Box" Basic Set, moved on to the Expert and Companion Sets, and then to 1st Edition AD&D before picking up 2nd Edition AD&D when it was released. At the time, I thought it was a big improvement upon 1st Edition, as it was better organized and some rules were made a bit more consistent.
I started to lose interest due to outside factors, but the proliferation of poorly-balanced PHBR books really didn't help.
Looking back at 2e today, I see things that were improvements upon 1e, but I also see things that were lost along the way. I still think it has a slightly stronger core game system than 1e, but it did lose a lot of the flavour.
