I know three people who made the switch from 3 to 4, and *all of them* say it was worth it in spades.
I may pull the trigger on a 4 soon.

I also think they will do something (have no idea what) to address the issue of weight on the device as well, bringing it back down or possibly lower than the iPad 2's weight.
Their hands are somewhat tied on this. There's no magic solution that they can just design into the product. While I'm sure they will find a few ways to trim things here or there, a significant percentage of the iPad's weight is its batteries. And battery technology just doesn't exist yet than can power a Retina display for a decent amount of time at significantly less weight than the current option.
Lol I was generalizing and your attack was directed towards me. I should report it. I never understand people like you. Always bent on pissing on people.
The regular ipad looks like one of those cheap digital frames on my grandma's fireplace.
As opposed to an iPad Mini...
which looks like a frame attached to a mug who paid too much for an under-powered device?
Very true, if you are a hardcore gamer or are a Power user for productivity apps such as photo/video editing, then I would agree, the upgrade to the iPad 4 would most definitely be worth it.
All that being said, I would bet a fairly substantial amount of money that a majority of those looking to upgrade from the iPad 3 to the iPad 4 have no such needs, and are simply looking to possess Apple's latest and greatest, which by the way there is nothing wrong with. However, there is no real reason to upgrade in most cases IMHO.
I record a lot of video. 32 GB for $100 more is $100 for 16 GB. 64 GB for $200 more is $67 for 16 GB.I would never understand anyone throwing $ in iphone5 64g as well ...

Sell iPad 3 now for $380, buy iPad 4 for $620, sell iPad 4 next year for $400, buy iPad 5 for $720.
Sell iPad 3 next year for $280, buy iPad 5 for $720.
If you plan to sell iPad 3 next year to buy iPad 5 next year, then you might as well sell it now, buy iPad 4, and sell iPad 4 next year.

lol? If you have to ask then you don't need it. It wasn't even a question for me. Clearly it is for you.
Apple did the 4 now to move the release before the holidays. No way they'd release in March. It was a smart move. Yes it sucks for many but as a business it was the best move..
Love the iPad 4 but it is going back to Apple...going to wait and see how there future upgrade cycle will work, I do not want to get caught up in it at this time...maybe get another one down the road, for now the ipad2 3G will suffice. Tough going back to the non retina display but it is tolerable, enjoy your 4.
It is a tough sell. Maybe if you are really into the Lightning connector and doing a lot of iMovie and heavy gaming. If you sold your 3 well and the upgrade is only $100-200, then maybe....
