I should note the group in question aren't big table top people.
They ultimately retreated back to D&D 3.5 because it's what they were familliar with.
In other words, they aren't that open to trying new systems.
Not to suggest there's anything wrong with 3.5 mind you, it's one of my favourite systems.
But the lack of willingness to really step out of that is... Gah!
I'd be up for trying out GURPs again.
This time with people who actually have previous experience with it.

That's hilarious. Combat in 3.5 is legit "spell/attack. Hit or miss. Deduct damage given". It demands absolutely nothing from you, and fights are usually dragged out slugfests that take up half the sessions.
Gurps combat is "Hit enemy, kill enemy, becouse realism Get hit, oh shit, save me I'm BLEEDING."

Yea, 3.5 combat I admit is pretty horrible.
It's far more min/max reliant than anything else.
And there's so many attacks and rolls to be doing.
Not a roleplaying game.
Plus like Hellis said, it get's people furious with one another.

I'd be up for it; I'd need to get reacquainted with combat, but that shouldn't take all that long.

I've read through the GURPS core book and while I found the concept interesting I think it's too complex for it's own good and character creation to be a bit of a chore.

Doesn't stop some people from getting offended and angry over it.
I've played with people before that get completely hostile and angry if you do anything to 'stab' them in Munchkin.
I mean I personally love the game, it's hilarious. But there are people who get outright furious from it.
Just like there are people who will complain in a Cards Against Humanity game about a joke being offensive.

Missing they point they are
Guess I lucked out with my group playing the tag line to the hilt
We killed monsters
We looted
We stabbed each other in the front back and sides just to be sure!

That being said, they tend to be more of a minority.
But they are there none the less.
Which is how it's meant to be played. :)
