Suppose there were three different versions of D&D:
So! Which would you play?

And since we can't easily make "sticky" posts, which always stay at the top of the list near the poll, here's an important quote and clarification that might be useful.
- One where all of the mechanics (race, class, ability scores, feats, weapons and spells, everything) are completely and perfectly balanced with each other, but at the cost of being extremely predictable and linear.
- Another where none of those mechanics are balanced with each other, such that it causes the game to be extremely random, unpredictable, and swingy.
- And the third option is the version of D&D we have today.

Yes, that was my implication. Maybe not in the exact middle between the two, but I think 5E definitely lies somewhere between those two extremes. Its exact position on that curve will probably vary from table to table.I don't know if you were implying this, but I don't think 5E is the middle ground between the first 2. It is badly balanced in places but not particularly swingy.
