Just the right balance for my current tastes, and it's easy to borrow things I like from all the other editions for it. The c. 1981 Basic/Expert D&D has become my favorite.

Maybe 4e will unseat it - only time will tell. Classic D&D holds a special place in my heart, and always will. 3.5e comes mighty close, for all it’s flaws and foibles.

But after playing 4e, I can't see myself going back and playing in campaigns from the previous editions. If 4e doesn't work out for whatever reason, I'll play some non-D&D RPG.

Ever since the first roll of the dice this weekend, kicking off 32 hours of gaming, I was hooked. I am still finishing the current campaign in 3.5, however.

Just my findest memories of playing the game were with that set, you just can't ever recapture the fun my friends and I had when we moved to AD&D from the basic stuff. 4th Ed does look to have made things streamlined from my rough skimming of the books I just received today. Hoping I can rope some friends into playing soon.
