I never played anything 4th edition related but I heard enough about it to dislike it pretty much on principle.
From what I gather salient traits of the 4th edition were:
- it was tuned in a very videogame-y fashion, resembling closely a typical MMO.
- Consequently it was very number-focused.
- All class felt pretty much the same to play for the sake of being "balanced" (similar damage output, similar utilities under different names, etc).
I heard good things about its "minions system", on the other hand, but opinions about it seem fairly divided.
