I have not followed 5E's development closely. What I have heard is they didn't
do it too badly (since they had a somehow open testing process). Why do you
think they were bullshitting people?

I am not sure the OSR crowd is the target audience for 5E. I think the
marketing claimed this indirectly ("this is the definitive edition that unites
all game styles in a single DnD!"). While 5E runs smoother and has less numeric
cruft at the table than the two editions before it, it is still an exercise in
character building with crazy codified moves and powers.

I have no hopes for 6E but I will watch what comes out of it. I will probably
buy the Spanish clone XD
