We're starting up a game soon in my area and the choice right now is between a friend of a friend DMing 4e and me GMing 13th Age.
Both excellent games so it should work out great either way.

I really love D&D 4e. I love playing with maps and minis and I am really glad to see WotC making them once again. I tried 5e for 2 months and it felt like 3 steps back as opposed to a step forward. I was really hoping that 5e would be 4e fixed up, cleaned up a bit while really keeping the same concepts and being very tactical and mini focused. It is strange for me as I started playing D&D a long long time ago with Advanced D&D and then 2,3 and finally 4th. Each new edition seemed to move forwards. 3 was an improved 2. 4e was such a new concept and I really liked it but I wanted the same where the next edition refined it and again moved forwards not backwards as 5e has.
I totally agree with everything you said here. 5e was a letdown, but strangely 13th Age was the bigger letdown. I guess the way it was talked about I got some idea in my head that it was gonna be to 4e what Pathfinder is to 3.x, But hell 13th Age looks closer to Pathfinder than it does to 4e. I'm not saying it's a bad game, but come on the 3.x grognards got Pathfinder, where's our 3rd party carrying on?
You don't think you're being a bit pessimistic?4E fans seem to be the smallest niche in a niche hobby.
