this wasnt an endorsement of 5e, i just dislike that people act as if 3.5 was very complex.
Its not, it just has a lot of options and splatbooks.
5e is about as complex if you add feats (which i dont think anyone doesnt).
as for choice, idk. Theres certainly some streamlining, the problem is that that while 3.5 has a lot of options, about two thirds of these options are trap options that 5e doesnt have thankfully
