I prefer to play the Hero System since it's a toolkit. I can't stand anything related to d20.
Its actually kind of funny...before D20 was D20 my two most commonly played games was 2nd ed D&D which still used the d20 a lot and Cyberpunk which had this weird D10 system. For a while there we were playing with these home brew rules that I meshed together for a generic somewhat free form game of modified D&D that did D20 + half your stat + a bonus for being proficient in a skill or any attack pluses when it came to attacking going up against a set number that you had to beat out. It was a really rough system but I enjoyed it...so when I saw 3e and the D20 system it instantly felt wonderful in my eyes because it was like someone went in my head and took the giant boulder rolling around in it and sculpted it into something wonderful.
I definitely get its not everyones cup of T, but I've always enjoyed it and the mix of a stable ruleset mixed with a fair amount of flexibility.
