SSJ3 actually IS more powerful, as far as energy-oriented burst damage goes. The problems with it are that it takes too much energy to get to/sustain 3 so if your first big blast doesn't kill whatever you're fighting, you're screwed. Another downside is that the body/muscle mass becomes so much exponentially larger that physical attacks & evasions are actually slower than SSJ2 or Ascended forms.
The advantage to SSJ4 is that once you hit it, it is still a huge boost to both energy and physical fighting strength and speed, and is also pretty much infinitely sustainable. However, to top the burst damage of SS3, a 4 would actually have to turn in to the Oozaru form (the giant golden ape) which is about as difficult to sustain as SSJ3.
The other thing is, only San Gokou can legitimately achieve SS4 as far as we know. Vegeta only made it because of the device Bulma used on him, and would have quickly fallen back to regular Saiyajin form if he hadn't fused with Gokou. Even after fusing in to Gogeta, they revert after 10 minutes because of Vegeta's instability in SSJ4 form.
Despite the fact that it is called "Super Saiyajin 4", the form is actually meant to be a state of being half humanoid Saiyajin and half oozaru Saiyajin at the same time. As far as "official canon" is concerned, SSJ3 is the most powerful/highest form a single Saiyajin can achieve in the humanoid state. Even after only powering up to the first level of Super Siyajin, Gogeta was already more powerful and faster than Gokou alone was in SSJ3 form. Since Gogeta was briefly SSJ4 in Dragonball GT, it stands to reason that he could also have assumed the SSJ3 form for more burst damage at the cost of reduced speed and a shorter fusion time.
Dragonball GT, which is where SSJ4 came from, isn't even really considered "canon" however, so yeah.
PS: some of the coolest art ever has Broly as a SSJ4 and Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz as SSJ3. I think they even did this in one of the recent DBZ games.
+edit+ ok I should have scrolled up more before posting because other people pretty much already said all this and with way less rambling, so uh just forget I completely nerded the fuck out right here.

Truth!
Back when I was way in to the shows and manga, I used to actually draw Krillin with a huge mane of red and black-striped spikey hair and called him "Super Human 4 Krillin". He was shirtless with a hairy chest and was often seen killing off the other cast members with Destructo Discs. 
Have you seen the later episodes/movies where he grew his hair out and somehow had a kid with the female android? What a pimp.

Morons always use the dragon balls to bring back dead friends and family. Krillin used it for a
sexbot like a true champion.
PS: He grew out his hair because nobody was buying the celibate "Monk" act anymore. Giggity Giggity.

You guys should start your own DBZ thread and carry on this conversation there.

Dragonball Z threads grind my gears. They take too long to power up.

OT: playing Dishonored's Knife of Dunwall DLC without being seen or killing anyone grinds my gears. It's really fun, but i've recently gotten to a point where i'm super low on nonlethals (2 sleep darts only) and i can't get past the 2nd mission in the mansion. i'm getting annoyed because i had to reload a previous save an hour behind where i was at because the autosaves reload me to impossible conditions where i was either bound to be seen immediately upon reloading, or i was trying to beat the clock to the objective point and my assassin assistant would just die 2 seconds after reloading because she had been caught out in the open. now i'm set back.
