One of my friends has been running a ShadowRun 5th Ed. game - we found the rules less useful than they could have been and started converting back to earlier editions.
Then we saw the plans for 6th edition and the members of the gaming group who have played the earlier editions have rejected 6th Ed. out of hand.

And as for the quality of the books for 5th Ed. - less than impressed. An index would work fine... assuming the page numbers in the index actually referred to the correct page numbers and assuming certain rules and concepts were not splashed over multiple pages that have no connection to each other.
I got roped into GMing a Shadowrun game by the DM who was running the 5e campaign in honor of the 30-year anniversary of Shadowrun. We ended going back to my 3e because his 5e was a "hot mess" to use. I have SIX SETS of d6s that I bought from Walmart and they weren't enough to play 5e with 4 players. I'm trying to transition the group AWAY from Shadowrun into Dark Conspiracy because the GDW D20 system is just easier to use than FASA's "Success system." The major issue with this system in a Twilight2000 setting would be the haphazard way it handles both explosives and automatic weapons.
