Edition and System doesen't really matter - every system is what you make of it (sometimes you just need more houserules).
That said, I played TDE 1st and 2nd Edition, AD&D 2nd Ed. and D&D 3.5 and I prefered 3.5.
I prefer gameplay over story, so I liked the combat-system of D&D more than that of TDE. The early editions of TDE were even more prone to cheese than D&D.
3E and the later Editions of TDE are more about character-costumisation than AD&D and D&D 4th. Ed. TDE has a very restricting (but charming) world.
Each System has it's ups and downs. That said, after all I've read about 4E it's just not my kind of Game and I doubt that 5E will be.
