I could argue over D&D's weaknesses for hours...

D&D is nothing like it used to be.  First Edition AD&D was starting  
to push the limits, which were finally broken.  The last valid  
edition in my mind is the old "Blue Book" D&D.

As for D20, in my not-always-humble opinion, it sucks on sooo many  
levels.  It's a shame when a gaming veteran like myself can't sit  
down and roll up a character, without first plotting out his lifelong  
skill development path and going through nine yards of rules over  
which feats to pick.
