I loved 4E but my players quickly grew bored of it. I believe that it kinda forced them to engage tactically during combat while 3.x felt much more free form. Two of my hard-roleplayer friends easily endured 3.x combat because it was a nasty, bruttish affair carried on by the optimizers but they got extremely bored during 4E because every combat played out like a boardgame within a roleplaying game. I think 4E is probably the most elegant and balanced of all the editions of dnd but maybe it's narrower in its appeal compared to 3.x or 5E :iiam:

Incidentally, I've put together part of my old group -the hard roleplayers- for a Vampire campaign and afterwards I convinced them to try 5E. They are having a blast with unoptimized and ill-suited-for-combat characters
