Am I in a distinct minority in actually LIKING 4th edition? I thought the distinct (and nicely described) feats were a good thing. Combat seemed to go MUCH faster and more "cinematically".
Our gaming group from a few years ago was a Final Fantasy setting and theme and 4th edition seemed to work perfectly for it. The higher level encounter and daily feats even felt like "Limit Breaks". I even bought a set of those Feat Cards for my class and liked having them laid out in front of me for easy reference.
Don't get me wrong - our GM also ran a Pathfinder game and I liked that as well. But the combat system was more "crunchy" and tended to be a little slower.
