Dumbed down but there's still enough to satisfy most people; lots of us houserule in favourite bits from older editions. Pathfinder 2 seems a lot closer to a cool middle ground but stealing the best parts of it and 3.5 to add to 5e makes it a lot better. It's a really good chasis for adding to and the shitloads of free content online makes it much better.
