How well it succeeds at what it's trying to do.What 5e is trying to do is shifting away from the kind of D&D that I want to play. 5e was always a compromise for me rather than my first choice and while the underlying philosophy of 5.5e hasn't shifted much in a lot of little ways (like Command getting gutted) it's inched back towards the aspects of 4e that I didn't like. On the other hand it seems to overall be doing a better job of #2. However there's been such a massive influx of players since 5e came out that I don't think my concerns about #1 are all that broadly shared among the wider playerbase.</blockquote>
