Both, in my opinion, come to a crawl once you reach 5th or 6th level. As for the original question:5e does setting very well. It is all over the place and classic D&D. Want to have some mind flayers in a spaceship talking to polar bears and a narwhale - you got it.5e did character creation very well if one only includes the PHB. It was an outstanding job of keeping veteran gamers interested and explaining things well to new players.5e does levelling very well. Making almost everyone but the select few power-hungry satisfied.5e's DMG is the best that has ever been published.5e has absolutely brilliant art direction and layout. It is a graphic layout artist's wet dream.5e has some of the best published AP; maybe not modules, but for a longer campaign, they do a great job with their writing.And 5e, by far and away, has the best online marketing campaign of any edition ever created - hands down.</blockquote>
