[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8862742, member: 85555"] One thing I will also add is my recollection is 5E was meant as an edition to bring back player bases that had left the game (whether that was people who didn't make the transition from 2E to 3E, people who didn't make the transition to 4E, even people who didn't go from 1E to 2E---because a lot of the old school elements that seem present appear to be more pre-2E in spirit). They seem to have succeeded in bringing back a large swath of the hobby (I recall how evenly divided things were between D&D and Pathfinder and D&D and various other forms of D&D available through the OGL when 5E was coming out, and I believe it was a serious question whether D&D would remain the top dog). So they are probably doing something right, and doing something right probably means they have to be very cautious about what changes they make. In short 5E seems like an edition that most people I communicate with are satisfied with (obviously having specific quibbles as all editions receive, but there doesn't seem to be anything fundamentally wrong with it as an edition).
