[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 6971740, member: 552"] When you say there's nothing "wrong" I kinda have to question what you think is "right" as well. The game is the game, and just by the nature of all things like this it's going to have some things it's better at and some things it's worse at. Almost everything in terms of game design is some kind of trade-off. What do you want the game to be good at? I also like 5e just fine. Simpler than 3e/3.5/4e, more consistent than everything before 4e, etc. That said, there are times I'd recommend an entirely different RPG, and I do understand some people want something more like 1e or 2e which to me at least seem to be built to better emulate a certain kind of fantasy world with certain tropes like the wizard becoming all powerful but having to be very weak at low levels to get there, whereas 5e wants to be "balanced" and consistent and relatively streamlined.
