I'll just add that even we are in the process of migrating to Eclipse 4
As part of the Eclipse 4 work, we've only migrated a few services to the Eclipse 4 level. There are still a lot of services used by 3.x RCP apps that live in the 4.2 Workbench (previously called the compatibility layer). Things like Preferences, all the wizards, standard sets of menus and actions, etc, all still live in the 4.2 workbench.
So while I encourage anybody that can use Eclipse 4 to take advantage of it, I wouldn't suggest moving any existing products to Eclipse 4 unless it wasn't consuming a lot of Workbench services *and* it could take advantage of the model or DI technologies.
That's not to say that 3.x RCP apps can't move up to build and run on Eclipse 4.2. With slight modifications they could start taking advantage of the CSS, which has stable API at the SWT level.
