As a (hopefully) fairly unbiased player/DM/GM I can tell you that it is perfectly possible to play 4th Ed and have fun roleplaying. Its more the attitude of the players themselves that can turn any edition of any game into a power gamer's paradise. Or a DM's nightmare.
I have played Pathfinder and thoroughly enjoyed it. (Despite the game having a French DM. )
I have both played and run 4th Ed D&D and enjoyed it.
I have both played and run D&d 3.5 and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I have both played and run AD&d 2nd Ed and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I have run True20 and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I still run D&D 3.5 games in Leicester, and thoroughly enjoy it.
Its all good. Flame wars aside, you are always going to find people who dislike or are fanatical about any system. Do not let anyone's biased, or unbiased, opinion put you off a system or rules set. Unless you have tried it yourself, keep an open mind. (Apart from D20 Modern, that is sh*t. )
