Sitting down and singing of gold is a popular dwarf move.

The 2024 PHB Dwarf is pretty darn powerful with the rewrite of Stonecunning and their darkvision.
They are probably the most powerful PHB species in the 2024 PHB and I have seen a huge uptick in them since the 2024 rules came out.

4e gave them a pretty solid benefit, in that your second wind was a minor action rather than a standard. That opened up some significant options for both defensive and offensive combinations.

honestly I would make them more enduring in combat. Enduring hardship has always been the dwarf way

Well, they removed them in 5.24, so we'll see if that helps.

Someone has played a dwarf in nearly every game I have run in every edition since B/X.
I also tend to play either humans or dwarves. I sometimes get the urge to play a tortle or something but then nearly no one else in the group chooses a human and I end being one instead because unless the theme or setting is specifically about there being no humans I kinda need there to be at least one.

The Orc are pretty durable, getting resistance to poison damage (the best resistance of any race) plus an extra 1hp per level.
I would say they compete well with the Orc and Goliath as the most durable races in 2024.

Again, you are making very strong statements here that are not supported by any actual information. Halflngs, by every single piece of evidence we have, are the bottom choice in the PHB. And they always have been. It's not a mistake that every race in 2e got a full Complete Guide, except gnomes and halflings. Why would you claim that halflings are popular?
