As someone who has never actually played 4E...is it actually any better than 3E? It seems like every 6 or 7 years somebody decides to try to incorporate me in a D&D game, and then expects me to DM it since I'm the only one who has ever played (and I am a TERRIBLE DM.) I'm sure on the next pass whoever "they" is won't be willing to play 3E.
