[QUOTE="ZombieRoboNinja, post: 5947358, member: 54843"] Abstruse said it very well, I think. I'll just add this: money is a huge factor from the players' end too. No matter what older system I wanted to play, I'd be stuck paying probably at least a hundred bucks for the core rulebooks, plus more for each player's PHB. (Or else spend hours of every session letting each player flip through the rulebook figuring out spells, feats, etc.) I'd much rather have one very flexible system, with rules modules that let me adapt the gameplay style without having to buy whole new adventure modules or convert a bunch of character sheets. Of course, if WOTC isn't careful, [URL="http://xkcd.com/927/"]this[/URL] could apply. 5e will need to be not only very good, but also very flexible, if they want to make it truly appeal to the whole gamut of D&D players. That said, someone else here was right when they pointed out that most gaming groups care more about having fun with friends than the details of the ruleset, so there is some real hope that 5e could be popular with everyone.
