4e is very narrow, it does dungeon crawls and monster of the week lampoons adventures but with the GSL license it's software and online support will be limited. Strangely enough pvpve style campaigns well, but that's probably because of it's Heroscape DNA

>I'd rather 3.5 come back in full force instead
I think the problem is a majority of TTRPG'ers post-covid are now virtual

No one played 3.5 RAW and online play these days likes RAW with a bit of RAI. Pre-internet and phone apps Rules as Reference style of play is just unthinkable these days where interoperability and software are very important-- you can't just reprogram a piece of software as easily, so tables tend to roll with what the software does best

I think if you liked 3.5 and 4e, PF2E is a no brainer
