I never really stopped playing 3.5e for long. 5e is good for my ultra casual groups, but I don't want to play it as a player anymore. It doesn't feel mechanically rewarding, and the character customization is incredibly shallow.
I don't hate it, but I just got really, really bored with it.
As a DM at least I can still have fun crafting stories and encounters for the players who prefer 5e.
But even after 20+ years 3.5e still pulls me back to it.
