Who would play D&D essentials?

For the last few weeks I have set in on the Wednesday night D&D encounter sessions at My FLGS and found it to be enjoyable especially since at the moment it is the only game in town so to speak. The essential rules are by no means My favorite ( that goes to Swords& Wizardry and Stars without Number) but essentials is more user friendly than the original 4e layout and the DM's they have are very good at what they do and the adventures have been light based around combat. so for a hour or so of My Wednesday nights it beats watching television and no gaming at all.
