Yea, these are all pretty second-string games.

Well, there were quite some games in the other threads which had considerably less incarnations/supplements than Fuzion, d6 and Masterbook...

To heck with you guys, I liked Fuzion. Some decent home made stuff like Lightspeed and Artesia were based off it. A long time ago it also inspired the Atomik series of plug-ins, which I thought showed off Fuzion's flexibility in spades.

Not many. WEG had their troubles (too many expensive licenses) and now they seem to focus on the D6 system. And Torg 2.0 still isn't out...
Still, it's a very versatile game with decent mechanics, although the logarithmic scaling can be considered both bane and boon...

I'll back you up here, I like Fuzion.

As a matter of fact, JAGS author was one of the original GURPS playtesters, and one of those who urged Evil Stevie to adopt the GURPS name. JAGS came about because he came to the conclusion GURPS 1e was too complicated. So he wrote a simpler version, and called it Just Another Gaming System (JAGS). :)
