I am aware that in the context of the episode this meme is backwards, since we like our Skinner more than "real" Skinner (i.imgflip.com)

Did they improve DM support? Make CR actually work? Is combat more dynamic and faster-paced? Is character creation still a pain in the ass? Did they flesh out non-combat? Do player abilities still tend to solve problems by just turning off parts of the game? Is there a clear vision for what this even is?

I'm not an expert but:

No
No
No (though it is faster than 3.x or 4th, mostly because you don't have any options)
At least there are options now. Still nothing significant past character creation, of course
No
Probably. Either that or hitting it with an axe
Yeah it's a love letter to second ed, with bits of third mixed in to keep angry internet nerds who never played anything else happy

I don't think 5th is the worst edition of d&d (controversially I think that's 3.x), but it is the most nothing edition. The best editions are of course 13th Age and Pathfinder 2e

"A love letter to 2e" actually sounds a lot better than anything else I've heard about the revision. :P

Also, I have a soft spot for 3.x, but my potentially controversial opinion is that 1e is the worse edition by far.
