Like some people I love the idea of psionics in D&D but like many find that the way they are incorporated into the system causes more problems than their worth. As an avid fan of Darksun I'm looking forward to what 4e can bring us next year but I also love pathfinder and 3.5 over 4e.
With pathfinder ruling out psionics in the core rulebook with any form of description rather than simply ruling out psionics I think this actually leaves psionics open enough for a complete rework...
So on to my question...
What does psionics mean to you in the typical D&D universe, what system over the many versions from AD&D to 3.5s expanded psionics handbook do you like the most, is there things you would like to see changed/added/removed in particular and most of all what would make you play a psionic character over the other core classes?
I'm asking simply to get a feel of what the general Paizo audience would like and whether the work im putting into redesigning psionics for my home games fits that general vision. I know what I like but others may vary and its others I'd like to mostly tailor for.
Thanks in advance for your input.

Dreamscarred Press has already announced that they will be putting out essentially a pfxph. I believe there are ongoing threads elsewhere on the paizo boards and on the dreamscarred press boards about how to modify psionics for pathfinder games. A summary of what i've seen is to keep the xph mostly intact, but add a few extras for psions based on their focus, that are in line with specialist wizard abilities.

A lot of what Dreamscarred puts out is near-Pathfinder compatible. I'm running a campaign with a halo knight that I just converted the class skills over to Pathfinder rules.
