I've played it more in 3.5 and Pathfinder to be fair, where they have from extra stuff. Especially been liking them in Pathfinder 2e, where they're focused on stances (modifying their base attack in more interesting ways than just +damage), and ki spells, which give them a lot of potential utility compared to fighters. And I feel like I draw a lot of Exalted, which is kind of an epic myth/wuxia rpg, that has a lot of boisterous 'reach heaven through violence' types, while still being kind of monk themed.
tho even in 5e, their wall run/water walk/extra jump are nice, even if I wish they went farther with it, and provided modular spell to more subclasses than just the few like shadow or 4 elements.
