"A lot" isn't clear or helpful. It reminds me of a poll I saw in a Discord server I frequent the other day about how people define "a couple," which led to a stirring discussion between those who define it as "two and only two" and those who define it as "two or more" and further discussion about what "or more" encompasses. As long as I've been lurking I can't say I've seen "a lot" of people complain that this site which was explicitly created to be the digital toolset for D&D 5E doesn't have digital tools for D&D 4E. I felt the original team did a good job of calling this site what it is and each team since has done the same. I think generally expectations were set correctly, because in absolute numbers I could maybe count on one hand the number of people I've seen complaining about there not being D&D 4E digital tools here. I've seen a nonzero number of people making offhand comments that it would be neat to have other editions represented here, but the vibe with those comments doesn't scream "upset."

On-topic, I've seen many more people upset about the 2024 rules not being more cleanly separated from 2014 rules. But right now I'm watching and waiting to see how much of that is the usual "the new thing sucks" that's common with new editions (though that's not what the 2024 update to 5E even is) versus how much is genuinely about UI complaints. For me it's not a pain point, but A.) I like the 2024 rules, and 2.) this isn't the kind of thing that makes me upset.

They can say my *** is made out of ice-cream but that does not make me a hot fudge sundae. The changes to the base rules to this degree makes it a new version regardless of what they say.

Building my first, and last, new character on DND Beyond since the 2024 drop. It's completely killed the enthusiasm I had for my character. After this, everything I join, run, and play will be away from DND Beyond. I'm even walking away from all the content I purchased. Great job WotC. Great job. If I could toggle the new trash, I may have at least stayed and kept using what I paid for, but this way they won't even keep my subscription.

yes for us neurodiverget people having these freebies while would be nice ordinarily is actually really confusing, im constantly turning to my printed books and its jaring terribly to play on dndbeyond because of it

Seems they've been listening to the community. Just went to make a character for a one shot and there's a new option to disable the core rules. It seems like it disables the 2024 rules as people have been asking for.

I was just coming to this thread to point that out! It would've been nice for there to be, like, any kind of announcement about that, but it's a very welcome change.

 If I had to guess, they're likely giving it some settling in time to make sure everything works first?

Maybe, though they have made changes to the "sources" options on that screen several times without any kind of public announcement before (e.g. when they split "2014 Core Rules" out from "Legacy").
