Twin Snakes is typically maligned because of the Star Wars "Special Edition" effect; they took the original source material and made a lot of unnecessary changes that didn't seem to serve any purpose other than to add eye candy to scenes. Voice changes (accents) were also not entirely necessary and the MGS2 engine based controls essentially made the game easier to play, even going so far as to "break" at least one boss fight (ocelot).
That being said, I still prefer playing and watching Twin Snakes, even though the original is still the "real" version of the game. Of course I'd love to re-buy and replay every MGS game using the MGS4 engine, but I'm not really sure if there would be any point to that.
After playing nothing but MGS4 for over a month after debut, I had to go back and replay every MGS game and the one I kept coming back to was MGS3 Subsistence. Snake Eater felt broken to me the first time I played it due to the fixed camera, and it still feels broken today.
But Subsistence in more ways than not remains my favorite MGS game.
