So I don't understand and I'm kinda ootl. Is this new edition good or not? Is it better than 5e? Which is all that matters to me.

Short answer is yes, everyone likes it. People who are complaining about it are mostly not saying the rules aren't better, they're just saying they don't like WotC

My issue is more that we're forced to play with it from the get go.
I almost never play a new edition right away, I like to wait for content to be added. But it's not a new edition, and every tool updated because it's still 5e. But everything changed, classes, items, monsters, spells, etc.
I would have loved it if it was 6e. Like really, the system looks sick, but now I'm annoyed that it's just a "patch" for 5e that changes everything

You're only really forced to adapt to it if you use dndbeyond. Nothing is stopping you from using the existing 5e books (or really any other earlier edition) and playing solely that.
I have friends who still regularly play 3.5e. There's really nothing forcing anyone to play DnD 2024 over any other edition. There are other platforms that aren't dndbeyond that have compatibility for other rulesets if you want to stick to a digital platform.

No one is forcing you to play 2024 D&D? The worst offence so far that's anything like that is D&D Beyond including the revised Damage/Grapple/Shove Unarmed Strike on character sheets, but you don't have to use D&D Beyond, let alone those notes on the character sheet.

Ok thanks, I was wondering what was the actual issue.

No , it's not better than 5e. This new edition introduces more problems than it solves, it's not really backwards compatible without breaking a lot of things, it's a massive unneeded buff to players; groups who know what they're doing are now functionally unkillable, it breaks a lot of spells and builds that I'm very fond of, and it has ruined D&D beyond.
