I've played around a bit with the Action! System rules and I didn't have any problem with them. The lack of magic support in the rules has turned some people off.
Its a skill based system, not a level based one.
The XP/Skill advancement system doesn't really work well for a mud, but most games designed for table top play don't port directly to the computer and this can be worked around with a little planning.
I think if you like the GURPS rules (or original L5R or 7th Seas rules, it will probably be pretty easy to pick up.
The Gunslinger rule set is a worth getting (sorry, you do have to buy that) if you want to see how the rules have been applied.
One other thing to point out is that Mark Arsenault, the President of GRG, has constantly impressed with me with the way he deals with people. During the early days of the A!S rules he had his share of flames on the GRG mailing lists, and he always handled them calmly and professionally.
