We played a Warhammer Skirmish one night as an experiment. I didn't get it, or enjoy it very much, but that was MY problem as I didn't read the rules properly so I didn't really have a clue as to what was going on and the army I created was sub-optimal for the same reason. I still had fun on the night though and enjoyed the social aspect.
The other night one of our GM's ran a couple of Eberron based encounters using the Savage Worlds rules which was...interesting. Good fun if you're not into tactical play as one "fighting" skill and one "shooting" skill cover combat actions. It was fun, but not something I'd like to play long term. However, if that guy wants to GM that system, I'm happy to play it. I like spending time with the guys in my group and will play whatever, even if I don't like it that much.
If your player is not prepared to put himself out, just a tiny bit, by playing a system he's not 100% cool with, I think he's being unreasonable and a quite a bit selfish. I'm sure as Loz and some others have pointed out, that if he gives it a go he will get used to it and start to enjoy it.
