I've personally toyed with just about every form of D&D in some fashion, though my usual crowd for online games rests squarely in the 3e/PF1e Venn Diagram slot. Overall I've never found an edition I didn't enjoy, though some definitely would need some tweaking before I'd ever run them.

As for comparing 4e to things: I always thought it reminded me more of something like XCOM or other turn-based tactics games rather than any sort of MMO. Cooldowns on abilities have always been a thing in D&D, 4e just made them more obvious and in the spotlight. I've always said that I'd love to salvage the core engine and then reuse it for something like a military squad tactics RPG.

Speaking of military squad tactics, have you ever played RECON?

@Kenshi RECON's a longtime favorite, though something not a lot of people are too keen to dabble in.

Same here, but I don't know why, it can't be cause it's too hard, it's just % dice rolls and d10s on damage.
The character sheet is simple and easy.
We actually homebrewed a military supernatural game based on its dice system.
I really miss playing RECON.
