The 5e ruleset works with levelcap of 20 per ability score. Going above that would break the balance of the system so I am strongly in support of the level cap.
Comparisons with pathfinder are not really that suitable as pathfinder has different set of rules and balancing around the saves and the ability scores.
Personally, I like both systems but they do not mix well.
why do you say that? There are a lot of items in the game that raise your abilities over 20.
I agree for a natural maximum of 20 + race modifier though. But i see no reason for the capped 15 at the beginning. higher stats cost more points, so for 1 really high score you would have to sacrifice points for others. Agreeable for me.
