Comparing D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder

[AslanC]

I am playing Labyrinth Lord right now, a retro-clone of B/X D&D and it is super fun

That said I wasn't happy with 3.5 and 3.75 isn't thrilling me at all. 4e can just get out of the conversation IMHO.

But like I said, good for Paizo. They have become the new TSR as far as I can see, which is exactly what the gaming world needed after WotC.

pathfinder looks so good.... but I'll likely never get my players to switch over to it .. had a hard enough time getting them to switch back to v3.5 from 4e

That's simple... tell them they have the option of building a pathfinder character... like it was a splatbook for 3.5 don't show them anything else... then once they've all realized how friggin sweet the pathfinder classes are, read the grapple rules aloud... they'll never turn back.
