I am much happier with 5e lethality than previous editions. I want tough combats where any individual PC can be overpowered by the luck of the rolls but also lots of long-term character development and continuity. Dropping characters without lots of risk of killing them outside of TPKs suits my preferred tastes well.
I have still managed to kill two out of five of my brother's 5e PCs, and one out of four of my son's, in 5e games of mine so far though.
