3D6 works way better than 1D20 as it makes character with a bad score, worse, character with a good score better, and character with an intermediate level decent. For a game, I replaced the 1D20 by 3D6, and I felt like it was an improvement, as suddenly outcome were more predictable.
At least with my player (at the time) it reduced tendencies to over optimize character, and frustration where these optimized character fail. It’s an easy house-rule that I would recommend when possible.
GURPS is a 3d6 roll under, it’s nice
