I remember using 3.1, 4.0, and 2000.  As I recall, I loved the stability of 3.1, but the UI was old and outdated, especially when 95 came out. 4.0 offered the nicer UI, but the driver situation was still a problem, compared to the better driver support for Windows 95/98.  Windows 2000 was supposed to unify the OS variants, but it didn't quite make it (though I think W2K moved the graphics subsystem into the kernel for better performance), and Windows XP was the first unified OS and the first with a 64 bit variant.
