I knew there was something that smelled a bit funny about Pathfinder.
Of course I am kidding.

Our Rise of the Runelords Pathfinder game just ended with a TPK, so we're doing a little World of Darkness for a bit until we pick it back up.
Though I've really been wanting to do a 2E game after how well my 2E Ravenloft adventure went last Halloween. B/X D&D has been strongly on my mind as well after running a B2 game at a local Con this April. The challenge will be to get my group to try it out.

We play 2E and Pathfinder. Mostly Pathfinder for new campaigns but still 2E here and there, our DM just finished a year and a half long 2E campaign with his other group (who we sometimes co-mingle with), but they have switched to Pathfinder for their new campaign. Also I have a mostly retired level 11/12/13 fighter/mage/thief (my first D&D character, equivalent to around a 17th level single classed character in 2E) who I will only play using 2E (it would be impossible to convert him properly).

D&D3.5, E6 variant.
I'm really impressed not with just how it runs (we're only 5th level now) but also the overall effect it is having on my campaign world. Designing the world to account for ONLY 3rd level and a bit of 4th level magic is quite different from designing a whole world of high level magic.

Just started running 3.5 again after taking a break and running/playing occasional non-fantasy rpgs. The game I run is heavily houseruled and uses significant influence from PF and other sources, but the 3.5 books are still my fundamental references.
I use it because it's the best system on the market and I'm invested in it; to even consider changing I'd have to see a game that offered flatter, more balanced math, more flexible character creation, and maintained or enhanced the fantasy "feel". PF is kind of a sideways step, 2e is a step or two back mechanically, 4e is about ten steps back on every level, and 5e is looking to be a few steps backward in my view. So again, I play 3.5 not because I have to or because I'm intellectually conservative, but because it's the best thing out there.

We're still enamoured with 4E, particularly me as the DM.
That said, I often look back fondly at 3.5E and even 1E (although I would house-rule the heck out of the latter if I ran it again... or simply use Swords & Wizardry as the base) from time to time. Some of our best games were in 2E so that's also got some attraction.
If we dropped 4E, I suspect we would be more likely to go to 3.5E or Pathfinder rather than go with 5E but I could be wrong.
(As a group, we like the Forgotten Realms and have for 20 or so years. The only thing that would get us into Next would if the Next version of FR seriously rocked. On toast.)
D&D is just a great game no matter the edition.
