Which sort of trait-based games have you been playing?
For the record, Nosolorol, a Spanish publisher, designed a 3.5 derivative
which is atrubute based instead of class based. Your character has a class, but
it is only a temnplate for starting your career. FUrther advancements you buy
with XP points. The power level is wwwaaaaaaayyyyyy toned down from regular D&D
3.5 in order to avoid game breakage - which is notorious in 3e's high level
play.
I am partial to Warhammer's 1st and 2nd systems. They are class based (in the
sense that your character gets a class that defines which sort of things you
can train) but you can switch classes and the whole thing is very flexible.
Btw, if you are interested in classless systems, check out MiniSix. It is a
minimalistic fork of OpenD6, one of the most intuitive, streamlined systems
ever made. Its engine powered the old Star Wars game from Wet End.
