Just because I feel like sharing:
I have been running one fortnightly game and playing in another since 2012 or 2013 (when 5e was still D&D Next). I started running a second fortnightly game in 2014 after the finished rules were out.
I would say my games average 3-4 hours per session.
In that time, I have DMed:

I would say my games average 3-4 hours per session.
In that time, I have DMed:
- Most of Legacy of the Crystal Shard followed by most of Scourge of the Sword Coast. Both ended in near-TPKs. The latter included the surviving PCs from the former.
- Lost Mine of Phandelver. Successfully completed.
- Tyranny of Dragons. Started with PCs at 3rd level. Successfully completed at 14th level.
- Curse of Strahd. Started with PCs at 3rd level. Got all the way through to Strahd, who wiped the party.
- An episodic campaign that included the "Fane of the Sun Swallower" from Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle, "Trouble in Red Larch" and several other locations from PotA, "Neverlight Grove" from OotA, and the Amber Temple from CoS, plus a slew of old Dungeon Magazine adventures I updated to 5e.
- "The Sunless Citadel" and "The Forge of Fury" from TftYP, followed by Tomb of Annihilation in its entirety, followed by "The Styes" from GoS (which we didn't quite finish) and a bit of "The Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl" from TftYP.
- "Trouble in Red Larch" from PotA, followed by Scourge of the Sword Coast (including the climactic bit in Bloodgate Keep from the original version of Dead in Thay), followed by Storm King's Thunder. I also ran "Tammeraut's Fate" from GoS as a sidequest, and the PCs visited Gauntlgrym and Gravenhollow (from OotA) on a different sidequest. This campaign is still ongoing (and so far it's taken us 65 sessions of 2-3 hours over more than two years to get this far).
- Most of the DDAL Season 1: Tyranny of Dragons adventures. They were a mixed bag, and I skipped a few.
- Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. We made it through a good chunk of this before abandoning it in frustration. I attempted to run Legacy of the Crystal Shard again (with the intention of using it as a lead-in to another SKT campaign starting in Bryn Shander) but we didn't get very far through that either.
- Odyssey of the Dragonlords. We are only four sessions into this campaign. The PCs are at 3rd level.
- A 5e conversion of Age of Worms.
- A heavily modified version of Storm King's Thunder, which saw us starting with "A Great Upheaval", which included elements of some older adventure, then going through to Grudd Haug, before restarting with new PCs in Luskan, where the DM ran a modified version of Murder in Baldur's Gate that included a side trek to do a 5e conversion of "Last Breaths of Ashenport", before going back into SKT with different PCs. We made it all the way through SKT with those PCs and since then we've continued on with a heavily modified 5e conversion of Scales of War, which we are very close to finishing.
