I can only speak for myself. When I switched to all 4ths I'd been playing for over ten years, and was pretty competant over the whole fretboard. All of a sudden, in 4ths, the guitar made a whole lot more sense to me, and my playing improved a lot (imo). Prior to that I couldn't help but see the fretboard as two entities, like - BEADG being the first, and GBE being the second. Now it's all one instrument, BEADGCF, and I can move any pattern or shape anywhere with the same relative result. As far as adaptation goes, all you need to do mentally is move the notes on the two treble strings down one fret, not really a big deal. My C and F strings are 1 gauge lighter than I normally use for B and E to compensate for the higher tuning btw
