It sounds like you're trying to convince me of something. If so, say so.
If not, kudos, 5e sounds like your kind of game.
D&D 5E Everything aboot 5E looks boring.

Oh, so now we're playing 20 questions. Okay...
Is it a person?
Is it a place?
Is it a thing?
Oh I know! It's an edition warrior who just can't let it go.
If this bother you, I can save you a lot of time. Ignore 5e, it's not your game, because this is not going to happen. Others of your concerns, maybe will change during the playtest, and finish being in the actual books looking closer to what you like. This, will not.

Oh, I'm not losing any sleep over the issue.
I'm perfectly happy to not buy D&D books for the next 5ish years.Steely_Dan

Please, I am really not an edition warrior, I have DMed and enjoyed 4th Ed extensively; come on, you kinda come off as the edition warring type, so, man-up, and account, or did you just throw those 3 things out there hoping they wold go unnoticed?
Whether or not you are an edition warrior, you're making this personal, which is something we pretty much constantly warn people against. Ad hominem is probably not a way you want to go, here.
So, let us stop making it personal. We now expect everyone to drop this little tangent like a hot rock. Got it, everyone? Good. We now return you to your regularly scheduled discussion.

You may be happy, but WotC /needs your money/! 5e is the edition for everyone, if it's not for you, it's already failing just a little teeny bit in that goal, when it's hardly even started.Oh, I'm not losing any sleep over the issue.

I can't speak for TS, but WotC will be getting my money when they start putting up those old edition products--there's a lot of BD&D and 2E setting stuff I never picked up and don't want to pay secondary market prices for, and even a few late 3.5 books. That should counterbalance the fact that Next is still looking too much like a cleaned-up 1E.
And on the original topic, I think the biggest 'boring' element for me is the monster writeups--not the Bestiary, mind, that's a work in progress, but the Wandering Monsters column. We've been through several now, and I haven't seen any signs of fresh or interesting ideas. Personally, I'm waiting on the vampire--if we go back to level-eating slap-fighters, that will convince me that Next is going to be the Ouroboros Edition of the game.

Personally, I could wish for the Nosferatu variant in the 2E Van Richten guide to become the standard. Check out this innovation: it drains CON by sucking your blood.
And yeah, I can't wait to actually be able to buy 1st hand 1E & 2E Realms stuff. All my old books got stolen years ago when I had them is storage.
