I have stuck with 5e. If it's not broken I'm not going to fix it and I've spent a lot of time updating my favourite 3.5 monsters into 5e.
D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

I have never chosen to “stick with” 5e because I don’t like 5e. My feelings for it are: “Meh, I’ve seen worse, and I’ve seen better.”
I DM 3.5e.
I play 5e 2024, because that’s the preference of a DM I’m a player under. Play but not DM means I don’t give it much of my attention or any of my affection. Mildly annoyed that new rules exist is all the “enthusiasm” I can muster. The only advantage I see is it’s “current” and fully supported in D&D Beyond, but I find D&D Beyond character sheets underwhelming and disappointing as well.
If the latest were more like AD&D, Basic, or 3x, I’d be thrilled, but that was never going to happen. That’s what old books and OSR are for.

Nod, new editions are a tax imho.

Ain't that the truth. All you need is core rules and you can cannibalise earlier editions for everything else.

Yes, assuming the innovations were ones I liked ... but ..
Here's the big "it depends" ... systems like this do require broader buy-in. I'm playing in a 5e24 campaign, so I'm playing 5e24. I'm GMing Daggerheart ... after a one-shot that the players liked so much it's become a full campaign. If others don't buy in and I don't have a playgroup that is into it, I just have pretty books on my shelf.
