Ok, since the poll as "before" I'd ever play, I had to vote FALSE.
When my older group first started 5E four years ago, I saw a LOT of stuff I didn't like rule-wise, but we all agreed to play the first "adventure" (to 5th level) completely RAW with no house-rules or variants.
After those first few months, we had a better understanding of the game and its design intent and could house-rule it. I've house-ruled it back and forth (extensively to barely) so many times now I've honestly lost track.
