I have to say that I think that the change from 2nd to 3rd edition was a major one, and a good one.
I'm not so keen on d20 taking over the world though (eg, Call of Cthulu is now d20 based, which doesn't really suit it) and the Open Gaming licence, etc is dodgy.
From what I've seen of 4th edition, the changes are not that great, mainly just streamlining of the current system and it smacks of dumbing down/just releasing a new edition to get everyone to buy the new core books.
Anyone ever played Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay? That's an incredibly fun system to play, I thought.
