I'm impressed it handles mixing 5e and 5.5e options so well. It let me use a 2014 class and a 2014 race with a 2024 background, and had no problem handling it.

As far as I could tell, if you own a book, you have those options. Which kind of surprised me.

Yea, I'm surprised to see the toggle between the editions so obvious, as well as having the older options supported with their own splash pages.

What really impressed me is that when I used a 2024 race and a 2014 background (neither of which have stat increases), it defaulted to the Tasha's +2/+1 anywhere rule, and put them in the main stats for the class. (Str and Con for the Elf Barbarian I tested.)

Tried it out. Made a Goliath Barbarian with Soldier background. Advanced it to 6th level. Turned out reasonably decent. That PC should do fine in a game.

I mean, it is great they made it work for the tool, but the math is pretty elegant to switch stuff around.
