I game with several groups, mostly as a player but DM one campaign (Eberron). While most of the players and DMs plan to stick with 3.5 for the foreseeable future, a few of us plan to give 4e a shot with one-shots and limited sessions.
I already plan, though, that if I find 4e viable enough, to seek a campaign as a player or DM it without giving up on any of my 3.5e games. (Okay, I'll probably drop one but four campaigns a month is already a bit much! :) )
Anyone else have similar plans?
It depends on what Paizo does.. I won't give up my Golarion group...
But I plan on trying 4th Edition on the side (or converting fully, if it is adopted by Pathfinder).

I have discussed the whole 4E thingie with my usual gaming group (with which I run two campaigns; I am a player with other buddies in a 2nd edition FR campaign).
I have stated the cons and the pros of the new edition, and why I won't switch, at the same time proposing 4E as a viable alternative for different games or one-shot off evenings - provided someone else does the homework.So far, no response. :-(
While I don't really like 4E and I stand by my choice of the older ruleset, I'm willing to give it a try, bot I won't buy stuff nor I want to be the group DM... pals, I've been the DM for 20+ years, I like doing it, but... just not this time.
Currently, I plan to run solo games with 4e first. Meanwhile, I'll be running the Savage Tide AP with 3.5. I'm also trying to run Shackled City with GURPS 4e as an experiment.
This assumes that I'll like what I read when I buy the D&D 4e books in June.
Nope. I'm not playing 4e period.
I don't plan on running 4e at all, but I know I'm going to be forced into a game or two. Whatever, I say. 4e is not for me, but I'm not going to abandon precious, precious gaming people over it. Just don't expect me to run any 4e games anytime soon, and be sure to roll your eyes whenever I say something knocking it.

I am in two 3.5 campaigns right now. One will probably NOT switch, as it is a homebrew, and everyone is pretty set on not being amused by 4e. The other is completely opposite, and the DM has just said (within the past week) that 4e is looking cool and he wants us to start thinking on switching over.
I'm OK with both. I am JUST starting to feel fully comfortable with 3.5 and its 100's of mini-rules, but I look forward to learning a new set of rules with my 7-yr old son...maybe we can learn 4e together? Maybe 4e is easier to learn? If so, that will be a bonus for us.
Plus, being 37 yrs old, married, with two kids, I don't have an easy time finding a good gaming group that is geared for that type of homelife. So, if one of my groups says "Hey we are playing this...", I'm often excited to be invited and I look forward to the next session. If I didn't, I would not continue to play.
In two groups that are going to be 4E only. No one I know still plays 3E, not for over two, three years now. If I found a group in the area playing 3E I would probably play. Just buy a PHB and rock and roll. I hear warforged are supposed to be badass, even if I don't know what they are.

Real friends don't make friends play 4e.
