[gurps] How has 4th Edition changed your game?

[Bret Indrelee]

Now that 4th edition has been out a while, I'm curious what people's  
experiences are with it. My main GURPS group has broken up, so I  
haven't had a chance to play in a 4th edition game myself.

Did the changes to Strength and Health change the way that people  
started building characters? Especially in science-fiction and modern  
settings, it used to be extremely rare to see a high strength  
character in 3rd edition. Even in fantasy settings, many of the  
fighters would have a higher Dexterity than Strength.

I remember the discussions about how Essential Earth was an economy  
destroyer in 4th edition. What other spells have people found to be  
problematic?

Do you feel any need to rewrite large sections of material that were  
based on 3rd edition? Other than point costs, I wouldn't expect there  
to be much of a problem here.

Overall, what have you found to be the best improvements and the worst  
problems in 4th edition as compared to 3rd edition?
