[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8642240, member: 6987520"] Any yet in most cases many experts disagree-- because again it is subjective. Few things can be measured in absolute terms where subjectivity is not an issue. And even in the case where judges are given rubrics for scoring such things, they can still (and often do) differ. Five judges might see the exact same dive, and score can range from 5.5 to 7.5 for instance. It happens, especially amoung experts. Very true, which again is why nearly any discussion about quality is subjective. One person might rate a performance good, another great, another good, another fantastic, another best-in-the-world. While I agree 5E is good for what it is, sustained popularity has little to do with quality. Millions of people love fast food, but few would argue the food is "quality". Most know it is inferior but convenient, etc. so they eat it. 5E is what is "out there" to most people--so they play it. A lot of modern players are what I think of as "casual" players, and so have little interest in finding out about the prior editions, investing in them to try them, etc. but if they did, [I]might[/I] find those editions to be more enjoyable to their preference of play.
