So... The same thing that happens every time a new edition is released.
I don't hate D&D (as a player; I'll never run it again myself), but I do wish people would try the better roleplay offerings out there.
Yep!
I grew up in the era of THAC0 and when the newest edition simplified everything, there were so many defenders who wanted to go back.
Like, you totally can. Those books still exist. Go play AD&D you whiner.
Exactly! And then you can get the books even cheaper.
Besides, the last ten or fifteen years have been the most inventive (in terms of mechanics) in the history of the hobby. Something like Wildsea or Blades in the Dark will have a similar level of "crunchiness," but uses those systems to empower the players and GM to improvise an adventure that is, to me, far more exciting than a D&D story and gives solid, transparent mechanical consequences for success or failure.
