One action, 30 feet of movement, and whatever flourishes seemed reasonable (like drawing weapons and the like) was all most people wanted. Except they also liked that the rogue could do an extra thing once per turn. And they liked that you could Healing Word and still attack. So, WotC just did 4e action economy again and obfuscated the language. And it worked! The common refrain was “maybe it’s similar to minor actions, but it doesn’t feel like you’re letting a resource go to waste if you don’t use a Bonus Action every turn.” I still think it’s dumb, but it’s hard to argue with results.</blockquote>
