DMs & Players: What are your impressions of playing 5E 2024 after years of 5E 2014?

I'm looking to hear from those who have played the 2024 rules after spending significant time with 5E 2014. What are your impressions?

The good, the bad, the ugly, what stands out to you? Are there changes you love? Changes you don’t like? Are there surprises or differences that might catch someone off guard when transitioning from 2014 to 2024?

Please share your thoughts based on actual play or DMing experience with 2024. Sometimes the way rules play out can feel very different from how they read. Thanks in advance!

Edit: If you read the other D&D forums, there has been so much negativity about 5E 2024, but that is largely coming from people who watched YouTube videos or possibly read the books, but haven't played. When you start to ask actual players and DM's of 5E 2024, the vibe becomes largely positive.
